Nigeria and Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen's impressive start to the season has been hailed by a number of soccer stars and teammates, Dries Mertens is the latest to join in the accolade.

According to the midfielder, he is not surprised by the qualities of the forward.

Osimhen has been a shining light in Italy since completing a record move to the Stadio San Paolo in July and the Super Eagles striker opened his Serie A goals account in Napoli’s 4-1 win against Atalanta on Sunday, PMNews reports.

His performances thus far have left a senior figure at Napoli impressed.

“I am not surprised Osimhen is doing so well, as if you pay that much money for a player, it means he must be pretty good… The truth is, he has the potential to grow a great deal,” Mertens told Sky Sport Italia.
