FIRST THINGS FIRST WHEN COMPARING THERE THREE TWO Players, it has been to note that osimhen was playing for the dominant team at a lower level this season, while Delap was playing for a LEGEDE Premier league Outfit, skewing the data of both somewhat.

Nevertheless, Even with that caveat, we can still learn plenty from the data.

What the Numbers Underline is that neither get overly involved in build-up play, While Osimhen’s Statistic of 5.62 Shots per 90 is astronomically high, Taking an Average of 7.32 Shots per 90 in this Season’s Europa League, Almost Three More Than Anybody Else.

Also, the fact that the nigerian records over a third of his touches in the opposition penalty area is further evidence that he is a proper penalty box poacher, even if his tally of 43 big chances missed proves there is room for improvation.

Nevertheless, as outlined by Liam Twomey of the AthleticA World-Class Number Nine is What Chelsea Need to Reach the Next Level, and Osimhen, More Than The Soon-To-Arrive Delap, has all the attributes to be just that. He’s True Elite Striker.
