Settled case? Soccer expert would prefer Victor Osimhen over Harry Kane

Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen recently bagged two goals in his side’s 5-1 victory against Juventus.

Brent Di Cesare, known by his online alias Mark Goldbridge, has revealed that he would prefer Nigerian International Victor Osimhen over Tottenham Hotspur attacker Harry Kane.

He took to his platform to make a statement of verdict on the two strikers who have been excellent for their clubs on different occasions

According to him, he would take the Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, over the English captain any day of the week.

It should be mentioned that Manchester United has been considering the Neapolitan striker as the perfect successor for Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo, whose contract was terminated by the team as a result of his controversial interview.

However, there have also been rumours that the 2012 Premier League champions are eyeing a move for Kane as a replacement for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

It is fair to say that the Nigerian forward has been excellent for his side, raising his goal tally to 12 after scoring a brace against Juventus. However, it can be agreed that the former Lille man has had a significant impact in his club’s chase for the Serie A title this season.

Harry Kane is unquestionably a dangerous striker since he has not finished with fewer than 15 goals in a domestic league since the 2014–15 season and is now second in the EPL scoring chart with 15.

Despite these statistics, Mark Goldbridge, who is most known for his videos on the Manchester United fan channel, would rather choose the Super Eagles talisman.

Perhaps it should be resolved that, unlike other prolific scorers, Harry Kane did not earn a trophy for his remarkable performance, and given his advanced age, he may not have much more to offer. Victor Osimhen, 24, still has time to switch to other teams and shatter even more records.

Would you choose Harry Kane over Victor Osimhen?

The opinions will keep coming from different angles, so join the discussion below and share your thoughts on the touchy subject.
