2 Things Osimhen is doing better than Lukaku

On the side of Lukaku, the Chelsea forward has been having a rough time in trying to increase his tally in the EPL even as he started well. Still, a lot can be said about his performance with the Belgium team as he has scored numerous goals on international duty.

Osimhen, on the other side, has also kept an impressive run with 5 goals for his club this season. The Napoli forward is also responsible for Nigeria’s progression to the World Cup playoffs as he did well in the attack. That aside, there are also two things that he is currently doing better than Lukaku.

1. Scoring more often

Without any doubt, Lukaku has been an excellent striker and has scored many goals for his clubs and National team. But presently, Osimhen is doing that better than the Belgian as looking at their league records, Osimhen has netted five times while Lukaku is with just 3 goals.

Their European run also proves the same thing as Osimhen has succeeded in scoring 4 times in 3 matches while Chelsea’s Lukaku has scored just once. In their International records, Osimhen is almost having the same tally with the Belgian even as he started his plight with Nigeria later.

2. Resisting markers

This is another area in which Osimhen is doing better than Lukaku. It is always hard to mark him out of a match and prevent him from deciding with the ball. Even when he can not score, he makes a valuable pass that leads to something.

But in Lukaku’s case, sometimes he is likely to be excluded from a game when he is marked heavily, especially when playing as a point man. Defenders have also been succeeding in keeping him quiet in many games by simply man-marking him. That can be seen as the reason why his goal tally is suffering.
