Napoli manager, Rudi Garcia has showered encomium on Victor Osimhen for the forward’s selflessness in the club’s victory against Sassuolo on Sunday.

The Partenopei won the matchday two  fixture 2-0 with Osimhen netting the opening goal from the penalty spot.

The Nigeria international demonstrated remarkable team spirit by handing the ball to Giacomo Raspadori when Napoli were awarded a second penalty later in the game.

Though Raspadori missed the spot kick, Garcia heaped plaudits on Osimhen for his kind gesture. READ ALSO:

“That is a great sign, because it means he (Osimhen)is thinking about the team and not just about himself. I loved that. Raspadori is an attacking player who can feature in any of the forward roles, he will score goals and get assists,” Garcia was quoted by DAZN.

The 24-year-old, who was top scorer in Serie A last season has scored three times in two outings this season, PNO SPORTS reports.
