Edinson Cavani thinks Manchester United target Victor Osimhen 'has everything' to become one of the best strikers in the world.
Osimhen's goals this season have fired Napoli to their first Serie A triumph in over three decades. The striker has 23 goals in 30 league appearances and he's established himself as the most exciting attacking prospect outside of England.
On the back of his excellent performances, the Nigerian has attracted suitors from the Premier League and United are among those interested in his signature, with Erik ten Hag desperate to sign a prolific scorer this summer.

Ten Hag has made Harry Kane his priority striker target, but Osimhen is admired by key figures at Old Trafford and former player Cavani has given him a glowing endorsement, as he believes he can become one of the finest strikers in the world.
Cavani, who also played for Napoli, recently discussed the side's league success and his admiration for the 'incredible' Osimhen.
“Napoli's Scudetto was a great moment, everyone went crazy because that happens when you fight so much and you're not used to winning. The fans were so in need of a good emotion like this," Cavani told DAZN.
“Idol of my children? They talked a lot about Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and [Victor] Osimhen. Even twenty days ago when they came to see me they spoke to me about it. It’s nice to know they have these idols.
“Osimhen? I really like his hunger, he’s incredible, he never gives up, and so in the end that’s what makes you a difference and makes you a competitive player.
"He has everything to continue growing and become one of the best strikers in the world. The Scudetto was also won thanks to his hunger.”
Osimhen is contracted with Napoli until the summer of 2025 and would command a fee in excess of £100million.
