Arne Slot wary of Victor Osimhen attacking prowess

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has described Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen as a versatile threat capable of scoring in a variety of ways.

Slot made these remarks in an interview with Liverpool’s official website ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League Round of 16 clash at the Ali Sami Yen Stadium.

​Galatasaray treat in attack

​Slot noted while the Nigerian international is a focal point, Galatasaray’s entire attacking unit poses a significant challenge.

“I think Galatasaray has a lot of weapons, but transition is definitely one of them. Of course, one of the first ones you think about is [Victor] Osimhen, who is also a great striker in the box, can score from crosses, can score in multiple ways, but definitely a big threat on the counter-attack as well,

But they have more than only Osimhen in their front three that are really fast. Last game we played them, it was [Baris Alper] Yilmaz who was twice a bit too fast for us because twice he was going towards the goalkeeper in the first half.”

In the previous meeting between the two sides back in September, it was Osimhen’s penalty that decided the encounter, securing a 1-0 win for the Turkish giants.
