Ex-Nigeria midfielder, Garba Lawal has come out to say that comparisons between Osimhen and Rashidi Yekini are very premature. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the fact that the Napoli striker still has a long way to go in his career makes it too early to compare him with such a legend, and he hopes such comparisons will stop.
Lawal added that Osimhen has to play like four or five more seasons before everyone can be sure of his talents.
His words, “No, he [Osimhen] reminds me of Daniel [Amokachi] because he has that kind of power. You know, he never gives up. That’s one of his qualities that I like.”
“For him, he is just starting. So, he has to play like four, five seasons for you to see whether he is the man or not, you know. So, he has a long, long way to go.”
“But for now, I believe he is the only striker that we have that can fight. I believe he wants to make names and he wants to win everything.”
