Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has described Victor Osimhen as a “fantastic player” but said the Nigerian striker dives too often.
According to him “ the last time we played against him during Roma vs Napoli, I had this conversation with him, ” Mourinho told HT Spor.
“I told Osimhen, ‘you are one of the best players in Africa along with Salah. Before there were Drogba, Eto’o and Weah. You can’t be diving.’
“He dives too much, and that’s my problem with him, but after 10 minutes, we are fine.”
Osimhen who joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal from Napoli with his new teammates will fight Mourinho’s Fenerbahce for the Turkish League title.
Mourinho joined Fenerbahce in June, months after he was sacked at AS Roma, where he came up against Napoli a few times.
