Henry Urges Barcelona to Sign Osimhen.
Former striker Thierry Henry has urged his old club FC Barcelona to sign Victor
Osimhen as they look to strengthen their attack.
Osimhen, who plays for Galatasaray, is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in
the world.
The Nigeria international inspired the Turkish giants to a domestic double last
season and has continued his fine form this term, registering 15 goals and five
assists in 23 appearances across all competitions.
Speaking to Sport, Henry said Barcelona need a proven goalscorer to move forward.
“Barcelona need a real number 9. A top-level striker,” he said.
“I am referring to formidable scorers such as Victor Osimhen, Erling Haaland or
Harry Kane. Proven finishers, not prospects.
“When you have a talent like Lamine Yamal, who makes passes like that, you have
to score. It’s simple. At this level, one chance is enough.
“I’ve seen games where too many chances were wasted. At Barcelona, that can’t
happen. That’s what makes the difference between being competitive and being
champion.”
