This season, the two Nigerians are enjoying success in the Serie A top division.
Super Eagles star, John Ogu, is pleased with how Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen, two players who play in the Italian Serie A, are putting on a strong performance.
According to him, he loved how the Atalanta forward challenged the Napoli forward to score more goals in the Italian top flight.
As previously reported by Soccernet.ng, the former RB Leipzig striker predicted that he would outscore the Parthenopean forward in terms of goals scored.
Each had two-digit goals for their respective clubs at that very time. But, the Super Eagles’ talisman, Osimhen, is currently six goals ahead of Ademola Lookman, who has 12 goals for the Blue-Blacks, in the Serie A scoring standings with 18 goals.
In addition, the Nigerian broke Gonzalo Higuain’s Napoli record and was named the best player in Serie A for the month of January after an impressive showing in the first month of the year which included scoring a brace against Juventus.
