Osimhen

Jose Mourinho has admitted his admiration for Victor Osimhen, as the Fenerbahce coach warned the Nigerian indirectly to stop diving now that he has joined the Yellow Canaries great rivals Galatasaray on-loan from Napoli, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

Mourinho said of the Nigeria striker: “Osimhen is a fantastic player. If I were in a club that can spend 70-75 million euros, I would buy him.

“I have no problem with Victor, I have a good relationship with him, even if he goes down a lot. I told Osimhen: ‘Look, you are one of the best players in Africa together with Salah. Before, there were Drogba, Eto’o, Weah. You can’t fall down that much!”
