Victor Osimhen showed his magic once again on Sunday, proving why he is one of the most sought-after strikers in world football. With his impressive aerial ability, Osimhen is undoubtedly the best at heading goals and creating a real threat in the box for teams. It's no surprise that the Nigerian striker has attracted interest from some of the biggest clubs in the world as his creating talent has the potential to change any game. He is undoubtedly one of the best strikers in the game, and Sunday's performance reminds us once again why.
Osimhen hovered in the air like an eagle, easily beat his men and headed home to give Napoli a 1-0 lead after nine minutes. The power and precision behind the goal was undeniable, no one on the Torino team could do anything about it. It set the tone for a dominant Napoli performance that culminated in a 4-0 away win, with Osimhen again scoring the finishing touch in the second half, with a superb second header. He has shown all his strength, agility and aerial ability, showing why Napoli are so keen to sign him this summer.
Osimhen's aerial dominance this season is remarkable as the Nigerian forward has used his physique and jumping ability to good effect against Napoli. He scored a total of eight headers, a respectable feat for any striker. The Nigerian not only scored these goals from different angles and ranges, but also found the net from corners and crosses. His performance this week has been superb, with Osimhen scoring three headers in just one week, including a superb strike against Frankfurt on Wednesday in the Champions League.
Without a doubt, Osimhen is currently the best midfielder in the world. He jumps like a basketball player and reaches incredible heights. He jumped to a height of 2m 58cm in a header against Spezia earlier in the season, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo's famous jump for Juventus against Sampdoria a few years ago. He can generate deadly force with his neck muscles, hang in the air, and strike with unmistakable precision.
Osimhen has been a major contributor to Napoli's 15 Serie A goals this season that have come from corners.
In the defensive phase, when going back to defend the corner, he is equally effective in the air.
It should come as no surprise that Manchester United are leading the group of Premier League and European elite teams competing to sign Osimhen this summer. He is currently the top scorer in the world with 25 goals in all competitions this season.
