“The most beautiful goal I scored was the one against Roma at the Olimpico. People can’t comprehend how difficult it was.”

When asked about the hardest defenders he’s faced, Osimhen replied “Romero [from Tottenham, ex-Atalanta] is a really good defender. I had some difficult moments dealing with him. The other defender is Smalling – one of the strongest I’ve come across.”
