UCL: 'He's very similar to Drogba' - Troy Deeney on Osimhen
Former Watford striker Troy Deeney has compared Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen to Chelsea icon Didier Drogba, highlighting their similar ability to trouble opposition defenders.
The Nigerian international had netted nine goals in domestic competitions before Galatasaray hosted Stuttgart in the UEFA Champions League at Rams Park.
Osimhen has established himself as a difficult opponent for defenders, thanks to his physical presence, pace, powerful movement and impressive work rate.
Although the 2023 African Footballer of the Year failed to find the net against Stuttgart, Galatasaray claimed a comfortable 2-0 victory on Tuesday evening, with Aleksey Batrakov scoring twice in the first half.
