Napoli director Giovanni Manna has drawn comparisons between Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku, suggesting the Belgian striker's impressive career record sets him apart, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Lukaku, who replaced Osimhen at Napoli in the summer, has scored four goals and provided four assists in 10 Serie A appearances this season.
"Romelu Lukaku is a player who makes an impact in the Italian market," Manna told Area Napoli. "Every week, there's controversy surrounding him, but he's delivered four goals and four assists with a proactive attitude."
Manna acknowledged fans' fondness for Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, but emphasized the difference between the two strikers.
"Osimhen dominated the championship alone, but Lukaku's career speaks for itself," Manna added. "He's scored over 300 goals, and that can't be disregarded."
