Wolfsburg manager, Valerien Ismael, has praised the qualities of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, insisting that he is ripe enough for the Bundesliga side. Osimhen who is yet to fully join the team in training due to a minor injury is expected to be a major part of the German side this season.
Although just 18, Victor already possesses great presence in attack. He has a good eye for goal and is fast for a lad of his height. He does need to build up a bit physically and get used to how football is played in Germany, but we intend to help him take those steps” Ismael said to the official website of the team.
The Sporting Director of the team, Olaf Rebbe, also said the talented forward who finished as top scorer at the last U-17 World Cup in Chile was perfect for the policy of the club when it comes to developing young players. We have been intensively observing Victor’s development over a long period and we were able to secure the signing in spite of interest from big clubs from abroad. Victor‘s profile totally fits into our philosophy of not only developing talented young players from within the club, but also binding foreign players to VfL in the long-term” said Olaf Rebbe.
We pay close attention to international tournaments in all age-groups. The U-17 World Cup in Chile proved particularly interesting. In Ismail Azzaoui, Josip Brekalo and now Osimhen, we have three players in our squad that participated in that tournament.”
