Lorient striker Terem Moffi has stated he is motivated by Victor Osimhen’s feat in the French Ligue 1 after scoring eight goals in his debut season so far.
The Nigerian forwards enjoyed similar paths after their initial meeting in the country's U17 set-up, with stints in the Belgian First Division A before they moved to France.
Osimhen left his mark in Ligue 1 with 13 goals in the 2019-20 campaign – the goalscoring exploits earned him the Prix Marc-Vivien Foe before he switched to Italian Serie A club Napoli last August.
