Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has expressed his concerns about Victor Osimhen�s tendency to dive excessively during matches.
Victor Osimhen, who has joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli, will compete directly against Jose Mourinho�s Fenerbahce for the Turkish League this season.
Weeks after Osimhen completed his loan move from Napoli to Galatasaray, Mourinho who has had to face the 25-year-old striker while coaching Roma in Italy, said he had a special relationship with the Nigerian.
The Portuguese tactician said if he was coaching a club that could afford Osimhen�s transfer fee, he would have gone for him.
While hailing the Nigeria international as one of the best African players currently, Mourinho claimed that Osimhen �throws himself down a lot�.
�Osimhen is a great player. If I were at a club that could give �70-75 million, I would take him�, Mourinho said according to BBO Sports
�I have a very good relationship with him. I just don�t like the way he throws himself down a lot.�
In an interview with HT Spor, Jose Mourinho added, �The last time we played against him during Roma vs Napoli, I had this conversation with him.
�I told Osimhen, �You are one of the best players in Africa along with Salah. Before, there were Drogba, Eto�o, and Weah. You can�t be diving.�
�He dives too much, and that�s my problem with him, but after 10 minutes, we are fine.�
