MANCHESTER United's legend and Sports pundit, Owen Hargreaves has hailed Napoli and Super Eagles of Nigeria forward, Victor Osimhen after he scored a brace in yesterday's Champions League game against Frankfurt.

Naples went into the game with a comfortable advantage after a 2-0 win in the first leg of the competition. They would eventually add 3 more goals, with Osimhen finding the back of the net twice to take the aggregate to 5-0.

Owen Hargreaves praised Osimhen after the game, referring to the 24-year-old as a great athlete.

"They attack in numbers. Politano with a great first touch, Di Lorenzo there, Osimhen there. They just overload you; he's always there Osimhen.

"He's a great athlete, runs the channels, he's got size. He's literally a perfect centre forward, no wonder everybody is chasing him," Hargreaves said on BT Sport.

Osimhen was later withdrawn from the match due to a wrist injury he picked when scoring the second goal of the game in the 53rd minute.
