Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has insisted that he will continue to score on a regular basis for Napoli whether he takes penalties or not, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Osimhen also believes Napoli have a good chance to go all the way in the Champions League after they reached the competition’s quarter-finals for the first time with an emphatic win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
With Napoli’s tally of 26 Champions League goals unmatched by any other team this campaign, Osimhen believes the runaway Serie A leaders are capable of delivering European glory.“We want to go step by step and we will see what happens at the end of the season. It feels good to make history with this win. It was a huge win. Congratulations to the team on a good performance from the whole squad.”
Asked whether he had any preference regarding Napoli’s quarter-final opponents, the striker said: “We are a top club and it would be good to have a draw with another top club. “It’s going to be a huge match, it’s going to be great. We are ready for it, and we are ready for any big team we might have to play.”All rights reserved.
