Former Nigeria U17 coach Emmanuel Amuneke believes Lille star Victor Osimhen can be better than former Chelsea and Galatasaray star Didier Drogba one day.
A few months ago, Osimhen was compared to the two-time African Footballer of the Year by his former teammate at Sporting Charleroi Nicolas Penneteau.
The Nigeria international was in fine goalscoring form in his debut Ligue 1 campaign, returning 13 goals in 27 matches and he was crowned the best African player in the French top-flight this year.
When quizzed about the comparison with Drogba, Amuneke - who led the 21-year-old and the Golden Eaglets to the U17 World Cup success in Chile five years ago - thinks Osimhen can take his game beyond the Ivorian legend's level amid transfer interest from Napoli.
