A Tunisian football buff, Islam Bouafif, has described Nigeria’s King of goals, Victor Osimhem, as “an absolute monster” with an “insane” jumping ability.

Awed by Osimhen’s dazzling performance in last Saturday’s thriller at Fez Stadium in Morocco, Bouafif, on Sunday, took to his X account,@BouafifNour, to pour out his mind on the Galatasaray striker.

On Saturday, theSuper Eagles of Nigeria put up their best performance in recent time, and drubbed the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia 3-2 to book a place in the Round of 16 at the ongoing African Cup of Nations, AFCON.

Bouafif merely stopped short of calling Osimhen a ghost while describing his superlative performance in the match, saying the player’s agility and incredible strength makes it “almost impossible to duel with him”.

Bouafif was not done with his assessment of Osimhen, He rated him as the player with the best box presence in world football, and submitted that the top striker was “just seriously wasting his prime years in Turkey” with Galatasaray.

“He deserves a better team in a top league,” the Tunisian ruled.

Here isIslam Bouafif‘s report on Osimhen verbatim:

“As someone whose team just faced Osimhen, I have to say playing against him is genuinely scary and frustrating. Our centre backs aren’t usually this bad, and we rarely struggle this much when defending crosses. But this guy is an absolute monster.

“Right now, I genuinely think he has the best box presence in world football. His movement is extremely intelligent, he knows exactly when and where to attack the space, and physically he is on another level. His strength makes it almost impossible to duel with him, his jumping ability is insane, and he always seems to be at the end of every single cross.

“With all due respect to Galatasaray, he’s seriously wasting his prime years in Turkey. He deserves a better team in a top league.”
