Have the Goals Returned? A look at Osimhen's post-AFCON form for Napoli
Victor Osimhen has inspired Napoli with his goals since his return from AFCON duty with Nigeria's Super Eagles.
Despite Vlahović's impressive tally, Damiani's preference leans toward Osimhen's dynamic playstyle, which he believes offers more than just goals.
"Between Osimhen and Vlahovic, I always choose the first," Damiani asserts, as reported by Soccernet. "The Nigerian is one of the strongest attackers in the world; he is a force of nature.
)
"Vlahovic has scored many goals, but in terms of participation, he is not very high level even if he is a great striker."
The Tale of the Tape
Last season, Osimhen was nothing short of phenomenal, bagging an impressive 26 goals and spearheading Napoli to a historic Scudetto victory – their first in over three decades.
Although injuries and international duties have marred his current campaign, Osimhen has still found the back of the net 11 times in Serie A.

On the flip side, Vlahović has been grabbing headlines and racking up goals for Juventus, with a commendable count of 15 in 23 appearances.
Yet, Damiani argues that there's more to being a forward than just scoring goals. He praises Osimhen's all-around contribution to Napoli's gameplay, suggesting that Vlahović, despite his scoring prowess, doesn't offer as much in terms of overall involvement.
