Portugal star says Osimhen is yet to express his talent fully for Napoli

Portugal star Mario Rui has praised Victor Osimhen's qualities as a striker but believes the Nigerian international is still yet to develop into his full element. 

Osimhen is one of the best young attackers in the world right now, with Europe's top clubs taking notice of him. The Super Eagles star joined Napoli from Lille in 2020 for a club-record fee of €75.00m. 

The Nigerian international had scored 18 goals in all competitions for Lille, including 13 in the Ligue 1, before signing for Napoli. 

Since he joined the Neapolitans, Osimhen has scored 24 goals and recorded eight assists in 51 league games. While it is a decent return, Rui believes Osimhen can do better, saying the Nigerian youngster is still yet to express his talents fully.

"I already knew something about him because I had seen him in Lille, then when he arrived in Naples I saw him up close and he demonstrates his qualities which are very important," Rui told Radio Kiss Kiss, as per, Tutto Napoli

"In my opinion he still hasn't expressed all his talent yet," Rui added.

Osimhen will hope to improve on his numbers when the new Italian Serie A season kicks off on August 13 after scoring 14 league goals last season. However, it remains to be seen if Osimhen will spend the whole season at Napoli.

The Nigerian international has been linked with a move away from Naples, with Manchester United and Bayern Munich reportedly interested in his services.
