Garcia Gomez applauded the Super Eagles striker and explained why he has flourished so early despite coming off the back of not playing for five months.
“He (Osimhen) has been smart and humble coming to our club,” he told BBC Sports. “The main part of the squad has been together for two years, winning back-to-back championships
“He came in a smart way, trying to be a part of it, not as a typical star. He was not expecting the club to adapt to him, but he has been very humble and hard-working.”
His future will be a topic of discussion yet again in the winter transfer window, even though he is not expected to make another move until the summer.
