His performance against Parma drew praise from the boss, Gennaro Gattuso who described him as a very good player.
“Osimhen has a great attitude and is a better player than he’s shown on the pitch so far.
“I knew that he could help us in the second half. He has the intelligence of a 40-year old.” he said.
