'He Is A True Finisher, A Very Good Scorer' - Ex-Chelsea Striker Praises Victor Osimhen

Published: November 22, 2019

Former Chelsea star Loic Remy has lavished praise on Victor Osimhen ahead of tonight's Ligue 1 meeting between PSG and Lille at Parc des Princes in Paris, labeling the Nigeria international a 'very good scorer'.

Remy is impressed by Osimhen's work ethic at training sessions and hailed Lille's recruitment team for signing the striker.

''Victor was a discovery for everyone. Once again, we must emphasize the recruitment of the club, very wise in its choices,'' Le10sport citing the official website of Lille quoted Remy as saying.

''I can now detect the big potential players, who are assiduous and serious in what they do. Victor is one of them.

''In training, he puts the intensity, he is a true finisher, a very good scorer. I see him working after the sessions, bodybuilding, taking time to take care of his body.

''He has a complete profile and I promise him a very bright future if he continues with this mentality.''

Remy, who moved to Lille a year before Osimhen, has set the record straight about a non-existent rivalry between him and the Super Eagles star.

''People sometimes make the comparison between Victor and me, because we are both attackers. But there is no animosity between us. He's someone I really appreciate.

''On the field, we are also complementary, we have already proved this season when the coach has played us both.''

Osimhen has notched up nine goals across all competitions for Lille, his best start to a season since he turned professional in January 2017.
