Regarding Osimhen, can he play wide as well as upfront?
He can, but not ideally. He’s 6’4 with long legs and not a natural dribbler. So if on the wing, he floats centrally a lot. Not really a beat a man to the touch line and get a cross in type.
For me, he’s quite similar to Tammy Abraham in both playing style and body type.
I know nothing about this guy, but although it would be useful I don’t think it’s that important if he can play wide. We have Son, Lucas and Stevie for that.
And as I’ve said in the Kane thread I have a feeling we might see Kane drop back into a deeper SS/No.10 role in the not too distant future.
We need to buy a number 9 first and foremost.
