Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti says he will strive to make Victor Osimhen a better player.

Spalletti took charge at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium last summer and has enjoyed a smooth working relationship with Osimhen.

The Nigerian international scored 14 goals in 27 league appearances for the Partenopei during the 2021/22 campaign.

Osimhen made his second pre-season appearance for the Partenopei in the 4-1 win against Perugia on Sunday.

Much will be expected from the striker next season and Spalletti is keen to help Osimhen fulfill his potential.

“Victor has to find the best condition, but we know what his great potential is and we will go to work on his qualities not yet expressed,” Spalletti told a press conference.

Napoli will face Adana Demirspor, Mallorca, Girona, and Espanyol in friendlies before their Serie A opener against Verona on August 15.
