– Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has lauded Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen who scored a brace in Napoli’s 2-2 draw in their Europa League assignment on Thursday.
– Speaking after the match, the Foxes trainer spoke highly of the former Lille and Wolfsburg forward.
– “We had some Leicester players getting their first 90 minutes of the season as well, and then obviously, their big striker Osimhen, who is £70-odd-million, so you can see his quality, and he gets his two goals,” Rodgers told the club’s official portal.
– The tactician was also impressed by Zambia international, Daka who was impressive as well as Boubakary Soumare.
– “I thought Soumare was excellent in the game. He had a little spell at the beginning of the second half,” Rodgers continued.
– “He looked a little leggy, but then he’d done one or two pieces of skill and came back into the game. He was good. That was his first 70 minutes, so I am delighted with that.
– Napoli and Leicester are now joint second with one point each in Group B. Legia Warsaw, who defeated Spartak Moscow by a solitary goal, are at the summit.
