Erling Haaland is enjoying a remarkable first season at Manchester City, but Didi Hamann has asserted that Victor Osimhen is the 'top centre forward in the world' and 'better than' the Norwegian. Osimhen has been in terrific form for Napoli this season, scoring 23 goals in 28 matches, which has led to speculation of a summer transfer to Manchester United, Chelsea, or any other top club. Hamann believes the Nigerian is a more complete player than Haaland and is capable of linking up play better. Despite the 45 goals Haaland has scored in 42 games this season, the former Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City midfielder remains adamant that Osimhen is the better player.

United and Chelsea are both reportedly interested in bringing Osimhen to England, as they are both in need of a long-term replacement or goalscoring solution respectively. Didi Hamann has praised a Chelsea star as one of the best in the world.
Erling Haaland is having a remarkable first season at Manchester City and Didi Hamann has proclaimed Victor Osimhen to be the ‘top centre forward in the globe’ and believes he is ‘possibly superior’ than the Norwegian.
The Nigerian marksman has been a standout performer for Napoli, bagging 23 goals from 28 matches, helping them to a 18-point lead in Serie A as well as the Champions League quarter-finals.
With many clubs being connected with a summer move for Osimhen, Hamann believes ‘each top club’ should be looking to sign him when the season ends.
The former Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Germany midfielder believes Osimhen is even better than Haaland, who has had a stellar season at the Etihad.
The Norwegian striker has scored 45 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions and became Man City’s most prolific scorer in a single season following his five-goal haul in the 7-0 triumph over RB Leipzig in midweek.
In spite of this, Hamann favours Osimhen over Haaland, telling BestGamblingSites: ‘In my opinion, Osimhen is probably a better all round player than Haaland currently and links up play better.
‘Haaland is an exceedingly direct player and I was uncertain whether he truly fits into that Man City squad.

‘I think he’s a player each top club should go for, because, for me at the moment Osimhen is the leading centre forward in the world.’
While Osimhen is loving his time at Serie A champions-elect Napoli, he confessed earlier this month that it was his ‘dream’ to one day move to the Premier League.
Manchester United have been heavily linked with a transfer for the 24-year-old as Erik ten Hag looks for a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, while Chelsea are also weighing up a move to address their goalscoring issues.
