‘He’s Strong, Powerful, Fantastic In The Air’

Former England striker Peter Crouch has described Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen as a strong, powerful, and fantastic player whose aerial presence is a threat for any defenders.

Recall that Osimhen scored twice as Galatasaray inflicted the first Europa League defeat of the season on Tottenham on Thursday.

Speaking with TNT Sports, Crouch stated that the Nigerian international should consider playing in the Premier League.

“I love watching him play. He’s like, so strong, powerful and fantastic in the air. He’s got good touch, he can play.

“This is obviously a stop gap, I think Galatasaray is just a means for him to wind his contract down a bit, maybe reduce his transfer fee if you’d like, but his next move is crucial.

“If he’ll come to the Premier League, I don’t know, but I think he can go to most clubs in the world football. I just hope he doesn’t end up in Saudi which has obviously been mentioned because we’d love to see him playing in Europe playing football,” the one-time FA Cup winner said on punditry duties with TNT Sports.
