Bassey hails Osimhen as superior to Haaland
Fulham defender Calvin Bassey has declared that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is a better forward than Manchester City’s Erling Haaland.
Bassey praises Osimhen’s achievements
Speaking in an interview, Bassey, who shares the national team with Osimhen, praised the Galatasaray striker’s performances for both club and country.
“Osimhen is simply incredible. What he has achieved for Nigeria and in the Champions League is remarkable. He’s a lethal striker,” Bassey said.
The defender added that while he was initially torn about Osimhen not joining the Premier League, he acknowledged the positive impact the move to Galatasaray has had.
“I was happy and a little disappointed that he didn’t come to England. It would have been good for him, but I’m glad I don’t have to mark him in league games,” Bassey remarked.
Osimhen’s rising global reputation
He emphasised that Osimhen’s current form at a major European club reflects his rising influence and skill.
“He’s performing at the highest level and consistently doing incredible things on the pitch,” he said.
Bassey’s comments underscore the growing reputation of Osimhen as one of the world’s top strikers, drawing comparisons even with established stars like Haaland.
His praise reflects not only his admiration as a teammate but also recognition of Osimhen’s impact in international competitions and European football.
Fans and pundits continue to watch the Nigerian forward closely as he solidifies his place among elite strikers globally.
