Italian agent says this Super Eagles forward is better than Haaland

Nigeria international Victor Osimhen has been rated better than Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland.

Osimhen and Haaland have been in blistering form this season but Italian agent Andrea D’Amico is under no illusion that the SSC Napoli striker is ahead of his City counterpart.

D’Amico said this during an interview with Tutti Convocati according to Italian media outlet Football Italia.

Both forwards have scored a combined 49 goals this season for Napoli and City in their respective domestic league and also contributed to the progress of both clubs to the Champions League quarterfinal.

However, according to the Italian agent, the Super Eagles main man is the best striker in the world at the moment and better than Haaland.

“Right now, he is the best striker in the world, even better than Haaland,” D’Amico stated per Football Italia.

In a related development, Osimhen and Haaland were conspicuously missing for their respective club at the weekend.

While Osimhen missed Napoli’s battle with AC Milan, Haaland watched from the stands as Man City welcomed Liverpool at the Etihad.

In the end, the Serie A leaders, Napoli, missed their superstar the most following an shock 4-0 defeat to defending champions Milan at the Diego Maradona Stadium in Naples.

The 24-year-old, who has scored 21 goals in 23 Serie A appearances, missed the game against Milan due to a muscle problem he picked up during the international break with Nigeria.

For English champions, City, it was a case of no Haaland, no problem as they registered a routine win over Jurgen Klopp and his Reds following a 4-1 thrashing with Haaland cheering them on.
