6. Alexander Isak
7. Julian Álvarez

Sugarboyy:
Please can you post the list here let's see those strikers that they listed above Osimhen

Here is the top 10. #11 is Atalanta's Matteo Retegui...

Note: Osimhen was rated #4 best CF in the world by ESPN in the 2022/23 season (Serie A title winning season).

In 2023/2024, he was rated #13 by ESPN, combining both CFs and wingers/wing forwards.

So ranking 12 for CFs only in 24/25 is because he is doing it outside the Top leagues.

On a good day, an Osimhen within the top 5 leagues easily occupies number 4 or 5 on this list.

Osimhen needs to make the right decision here. Head back to the Top 5 leagues. That was the whole goal of playing in Turkey, to escape Napoli and then return to the Top 5 leagues. The mega millions can wait to be made. Haba. Secure your legacy properly. Na wa.

Thanks for this info
League aside, so Rategui to them is a better striker than Osimhen?
Oyinbo will never stop amazing us
Aside Mbappe and Haaland, there is no other strikers today I will pick over Osimhen.
Lewandowski is a legend and one of the greatest CF ever but as at today, I won't pick him over Osimhen in my team. Only God knows the numbers of empty net 🥅 goals Lewandowski missed this past season and at a time, We Barcelona fans started clamouring for another striker to bench him

Never in this life will I ever rate Martinez or Alvarez over Osimhen. Martinez case is even worse, someone that comes from the bench in the NT. Imagine today's Griezmann rated ahead of Osimhen.

If Amorim declares interest in Isak, u go cry abi? 😂😂

charlesemeka85:
Isak I just dey see am like Sadiq Umar wey get better finishing

Osimhen and Gyokeres for me abeg 🤣🤣🤣

minfelix:
i will not join people to say you hate Osimhen, but Baba Haaland/Osimhen comparison and debate is allowed….Both club and National team, Osimhen can be placed side by side in comparison to Haaland….lets not make the gulf in class between Haaland and Osimhen look like Messi to Papa Daniel….Osimhen is not better than Haaland and Vice Versa…..
Osimhen has consistently matured into same class with Haaland,Salah,Lewy and prolific strikers of this current world….na because he never play for ManU,Madrid,Barca,Chelsea etc still dey cause all this disrespect to him….and except we all wanna lie to ourselves,the reason he has not entered this clubs is very understandable

Dude it is not allowed they are miles apart.

Haaland is 24 and look at his record it's simply unbelievable.

Haaland has NEVER scored less than 20 goals in his past 5 season, first season in the premier league 36 goals from 35 games, crazy astounding.

He started playing first team football ⚽ at 15 and making a huge impression.

VO has only scored more than 15 goals in a top flight league once in his career, when Napoli won the Scudetto he got 26 league Goals 🥅

When I talked about world class players I talked about Kane, Lewondosky, Mbappe, Haaland, l will add Benzenma for 4 seasons he never scored less than 20 goals in La Liga. This is world class outstanding consistency season after season.

Nobody is saying that VO is not a top level striker but world 🌎 class not yet but if he comes to a top club then he has very good potential.

Oga d three points is gone …it’s a matter of time b4 it becomes official,SA self are already working with d “10points”(reality)

I pray so, my wish is for the points to be deducted.

elyte89:
To me dis friendly is even unnecessary…we re playing against Rwanda 🇷🇼 and South Africa 🇿🇦 in sept …what lessons are we going to learn from playing against Russia 🇷🇺 instead of playing an African side dt plays similar style like d countries we would face in sept … and play it in uyo ,so dt our boiz can break dt jinx of not winning at home ..we av played 3 matches in uyo (wcq) ,all na draw

Agreed without question ⁉️

In addition it's politically insensitive it's always best to stay the middle road. Russia is simply bad news 🗞️ at the moment and we don't want to be a part of it.

komekn:
I haven't discredited VO or in any way dislike him.

I simply see him as an outstanding top level striker who is not world class yet. That's all.

When I say Haaland, Mbappe, Kane, Salah, Lewondosky, Maybe Lukaku, etc it's about consistent continues top level excellent performances over several seasons.

VO so far has had one outstandingly excellent season in a top flight season where he scored for the first time above 20 goals in his career. When Napoli won the Scudetto and he got 27 league goals.

He is still an amazing outstanding striker but for most people it's about doing it season after season consistently.

Saka for me is world class because of his outstanding consistency , season after a season as a left sided winger incredible amounts of assists and goals. That's world class outstanding consistency.

Would you call Dembele, Martinez, Retegui, Gyökeres, Isak , world class ❓

That’s the issue with “Yes men” whenever they like a player, everyone else is supposed to Lie and follow their agenda.
No one said osimhen isn’t a Good striker
No one said that osimhen hasn’t had one world class seasons. What komekh has been saying from day 1 is that, in order to be a world class striker, one has to be consistent at a Major league level consistently for a few seasons and such rules applies towards everyone including osimhen. There are no exceptions to football rules and regulations and just because we like a player doesn’t negate facts.
Nonetheless, I believe that in addition to being a world class talent, osimhen is also a product of Grace. He just needs to surround himself with the right advisors that has his best interest at heart and can constructively correct him to always make the best decision because talent wise, the boy is the most Talented African striker that I have seen since the Era of Drogba and Samuel Etoo and with the proper advisors/agents, the sky is the limit

To be fair to osimhen, 30 Million net is an astronomical amount of offer for any Nigerian not to consider especially as football life span isn’t the longest. His response should involve God, prayers, advisors, coaches, well wishers prior to making any decisions. It’s not like if one will automatically become a bad player

e sure me say na same names wey dey your mind dey my own too🤣🤣🤣…like im so reading it

😂

🔵 Al-Hilal have been pushing for Victor #Osimhen for weeks, but no full agreement has been reached so far. He is seen as a key target to follow Simone Inzaghi.

Al-Hilal have now submitted an official bid to Napoli worth €70m in total, as reported by @FabrizioRomano and confirmed.

⚠️ However, Galatasaray are determined to sign him and are prepared to pay €15m net per year on a four-year deal. They are also ready to offer a transfer fee of €60–65m, as revealed.

But to be honest and sentiment aside I prefer Gyokeres. He is more powerful and explosive

from this list only the top 4 are better than Osimhen

Excl: Victor Osimhen officially turns down Saudi club Al Hilal first offer. It was the same offer they made last year.

- Also a club from Italy is keen and ready to Pay Victor what he wants in wages.

Lastly, Galatasaray too are pushing heavy for his signature. RC not a Problem.

I don't intend to wade into what Osimhen should or shouldn't do but I just have to air my surprise at how fixated everyone is about salary. That's the lowest means of income man!

VO's management should be thinking brand deals! His face is one of the most memorable in Europe right now, and it has a higher ceiling. The guy already has almost a cult like following, that's money that can forever be cultivated. Make I no talk much sha but a name would forever worth more than salary

damagnificentusb:

Highest rated also on fotmob (7.98) and Sofascore (7.72).

Completely dominated and ruled Turkey without doubt. Tore it to shreds. Now time to return to the Big Leagues where the best of the best reside and showcase...

If Osimhen decides to remain in Turkey he must lobby the club to focus on European glory.

I can only hope and pray Chelle takes us to glory at AFCON. It will be too memorable because of the time of the year.

All things will be beautiful in its time sha

You are on point My Man. On point!!! This is fact. He is a brand. A big brand and that brand will attract money beyond weekly wages.

Once he is done in Europe, his brand will be so mighty that the Saudi deal for him in his 30s would still see him earning over 50M euros per year across wages and image rights and more.

I just wish he can just bow to the true footballing step to take. Legacy... a good strong name >>> weekly wages-induced money.

To do that, Gala must spend and fix their defence and midfield as well. I have reasoned this but I dont know how ambitious Gala is for europe.

I still remember carefully and clearlingly that as at last year he was the 44th most marketable athlete in the world and the only African in the top 50 list.

Signing for a big club in Europe will definitely boost that status more, because he is a big brand.

Let's see how it goes... Exclusive reports has it that he has only tomorrow to make his final decision on the Al-Hilal offer...

Apt point. Gala should replicate Sevilla method and aim for Europa league success. UCL glory is wishful thinking with their squad and manager.

How can they aim for Europa league when they won't play there?

Been seeing several reports that NFF gave Nwabali 20 million for his parents burial
Would be nice if it was true...

Afcon glory and becoming Nigerian highest scorer ever are my legacy expectations for osihmen. Nothing concerns me with European glory.

Afcon Glory and surpassing Yekini and possibly hitting 50 are surely Osimhen's NT legacies to attain.

For European Club Career Glory, he is already on course. He has a Serie A title and was top scorer in a Big 5 euro league. The turkish league na bonus but Osimhen still has potentials for more in the Big 5.

Now, who is a Bigger Super Eagles legend? Afcon Winning Kenneth Omeruo, Afcon Hero and winner Sunday Mba or Nwankwo Kanu (zero afcon title).

It was the players that contributed for him, not The NFF

Fabrizo is playing catch up 😂😎

komekn:
How did you come to that conclusion.

Because I don't join you in praise singing VO as best striker in the world even better than Haaland as some have said here.

It means I hate him.

You are entitled to your opinion.

I know to distinguish criticism from hate. And you are the only person I have ever pointed at as a hater. Yes.

How is it criticism when a player has demonstrated his ability from league to league and you have only negative things to say about him?

Last year, negative
This year, negative
Next year, negative

Habya hater
