Victor Ezeji warns against rating Victor Osimhen higher than Simy Nwankwo
Former Nigeria international Victor Ezeji believes it will be wrong to focus just on Napoli forward Victor Osimhen for the new Serie A season without paying attention to his countryman Simy Nwankwo at Crotone. Osimhen has been making headlines beyond the Campania capital following his big-money move from Lille.
