Former AS Roma forward Ciccio Graziani has joined the list of former Serie A stars who have showered encomiums on Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen is undoubtedly the best striker in the Italian top flight this season.

The Nigeria international is the leading marksman in the league with nine goals from 11 outings.

A number of former forwards, including Roma legend Francesco Totti, have expressed their admiration for Osimhen and labeled him the best hitman in Italy.

Graziani has now joined the 23-year-old's list of admirers.

“He is the top scorer in Serie A; he scores goals in every game," Graziani, who won the 1982 World Cup with Italy, told TuttoNapoli.

“Maybe it won’t be beautiful to see, but he’s effective." "He has the highest performance in the entire league, and it’s the one that affects the most, so for me, he’s my player in Serie A at the moment.”
