“That’s a complete striker” – Chelsea great Didier Drogba reacts to video of Super Eagles star showing his ‘unselfishness’

The Ivory Coast legend watched as the Nigeria international abandoned personal glory to boost team togetherness

All-time top scorer of the Ivory Coast national team Didier Drogba has applauded Victor Osimhen for his ‘unselfishness’ after a clip emerged of an incident during Napoli’s clash against Ajax in October.

In the short clip shared on Twitter, Napoli were awarded a penalty kick in the second half of their Champions League encounter with Ajax Amsterdam.

Osimhen, as the Neapolitans’ number one penalty kick taker, was expected to take the shot.

But having just returned from an injury he sustained in September, Osimhen decided to hand the ball to teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The Georgia international playmaker had arguably been Napoli’s best player on the night. Kvaratskhelia converted the kick to make it 3-1 on the night.

Osimhen would score an audacious, individual goal later in the game to help Napoli claim a brilliant 4-2 victory over the Eredivisie champions.

But it is that moment when Osimhen ditched the greed associated with strikers that caught the attention of Chelsea’s fourth-highest goal scorer of all time, Drogba.

Quoting the video shared by Nigerian journalist Pooja Media, Drogba wrote: “That’s a complete striker: unselfishness… the real meaning of ‘win as A TEAM!!!!’ Victor Osimhen.”

Osimhen has been one of Napoli’s best players, with the Nigerian forward scoring seven league goals to top the Italian Serie A goal scorer chart.

    Victor Osimhen is the best striker in Africa. Soon he will shake Europe more than what is happening now and he will be the topic in everyone’s mouth in Europe.
