“Osimhen is lightning quick, can hold the ball up but can head it as well. He attacks the ball pretty well.”
He added: “A striker like that, an all-rounder, is going to be expensive. Tammy Abraham and Osimhen have similar qualities.
“You can see the kind of player Arsenal is going for. You’re going to get no change out of £80million if you go for Osimhen.”
