Serie A: Former AC Milan manager, Fabio Capello Compares Osimhen and Haaland

Football legends, Victor Osimhen and Erling Haaland have been compared to be similar by former AC Milan manager, Fabio Capello who said the duo have been in fantastic form for Napoli and Manchester City this season.
According to Capello, Osimhen has scored 28 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions for newly crowned Serie A champions Napoli while Norway international, Haaland has netted 51 times in 47 appearances across all competitions for Manchester City.
The 24-year-old Osimhen is now the highest-scoring African in the Italian top-flight after surpassing the old mark set by former AC Milan striker, George Weah.
The forward recently broke the record for most goals scored in a single season in the Premier League.
Capello said: “I don’t think Haaland is under pressure, because he has anger inside,”.
“He lives for goals. Osimhen has the same thing, they live for this. They fight, they want to win, they help their teammates and they transmit this determination that makes you win games.”
