However, the 20-year old said in an interview on the French Ligue 1show that he enjoyed watching Didier Drogbaas a kid, adding that he wants to be better than the former Olympique de Marseille player.
“Everytime I was back from school, I just went to the internet to look for Didier Drogba videos. I watched the way he plays, the way he scores. Since then, he has really set my sight on becoming even better than him, but he’s my hero.”
Osimhen failed to add to his seven goals tally in Lille’s 2-1 away loss to Marseille over the weekend.
