After the Nigerian international scored twice in Napoli's 3-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday, former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves praised the striker.

Osimhen, 24, is being sought after by every elite European club, according to Hargreaves, who hailed him as the ideal center-forward.

 

At the Diego Maradona, Osimhen scored twice to help Napoli upset Eintracht Frankfurt and advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

"They attack in numbers. Politano with a great first touch, Di Lorenzo there, Osimhen there. They just overload you, he is always there Osimhen," Hargreaves said on BT Sport.

"He is a great athlete, runs the channels, he's got size. He is literally a perfect center forward, no wonder everybody is chasing him."
