Coach Rudi Garcia sees leadership qualities in Victor Osimhen similar to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Napoli gaffer worked with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr before replacing Luciano Spalletti at Napoli.
Napoli will start their title defense against Frosinone this Saturday, and the French is banking on Osimhen he carry the team.
Garcia says the Nigerian seem to inspire his teammates with their winning mentality.
“Osimhen is a leader, he always wants to win and drag the team,” Garcia told DAZN.
“He’s a bit like Cristiano Ronaldo. When he wins, he is super happy. He calls his teammates to take pictures and I like him.
“He is one of the best in the world, he could only attack, but he also helps the team defensively, he presses opponents and it’s so good for the team. This is part of the group’s qualities.”
Napoli won their first Scudetto in 33 years last season with Osimhen emerging the league’s leading scorer with 26 goals.
