Victor Osimhen is one of the best strikers in the world at the moment, but not many players like playing against him.
Bayern Munich star Kim Min-jae has revealed he would not want to face Osimhen as an opposing player, having trained with him.
Kim and Osimhen were teammates last season before the South Korean joined Bayern Munich in the summer.
Osimhen and Kim led Napoli to Serie A success
They both played a key role as Napoli won the Serie A title for the first time since 1990. Kim was rock solid at the back, while Osimhen was Napoli’s main man up front.

The Super Eagles star spearheaded Napoli’s title conquest after scoring 26 league goals in 32 matches, including the all-important strike that sealed the league against Udinese.

Kim was present to witness Osimhen show his quality on the pitch and in training. Having witnessed Osimhen’s ability in real life, the South Korean defender says he is not eager to face Osimhen as an opposition.

CAF hands Osimhen a boost in race for African Player of the Year
Osimhen is the favourite to succeed Senegal and Bayern Munich’s Sadio Mane as Africa’s best player this year.
“I would never want to see him on the opposing team. He's good, he manages to be 'overbearing' with the defenders. Even if the defender is far away, he chases and harasses him to the end,” Kim told Napoli Magazine.
Kim does not need to worry about facing Osimhen in training anymore as he is now on the books of Bayern Munich.

The South Korean will also not face Osimhen in the group stage of next season’s Champions League, as Bayern Munich and Napoli will not be paired together.
Both teams are champions of their respective leagues and will be among the top seeds when the draws for the 2023/2024 campaign are conducted.
However, Kim could face Osimhen in the knockout stage if both Bayern and Napoli progress from their group.
