Osimhen key to Napoli winning Italian Serie A – Cannavaro

Legendary defender and 2006 Ballon d’Or winner Fabio Cannavaro is certain Victor Osimhen will play a huge role if Napoli must win the 2022 Italian Serie A title.

The 2022 Scudetto is a three-horse race between AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Napoli with Juventus having a slim chance.

And Fabio Cannavaro who started his career at Napoli and went on to play for Inter Milan and Juventus has included Victor Osimhen as one of the players who would play a key in determining the title race.

“Milan have Olivier Giroud who has scored decisive goals and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will soon return to action,” said Cannavaro to Il Corriere dello Sport as quoted by Football Italia.

“Nobody else has a player like him. Inter have more than one, Napoli have Victor Osimhen and Juventus have signed an incredible striker in Dusan Vlahovic.

“He can hold the ball and is very determined when he attacks the space, centrally or on the wings. He looked a bit tired lately, but he has played many games, at his age, it’s easier to recover.”
