‘It has the best of everything’ - Liverpool legend likens Osimhen, Icardi and Morata’s partnership to cocktail
Since moving to Galatasaray on loan in the summer, Osimhen has been in outstanding form for the Turkish side.
The Super Eagles star has scored 17 goals and provided five assists in 22 games this season.
However, despite his form, he faces stiff competition with new signing Morata, who also joined Galatasaray during the January transfer window.
Riera speaks on Osimhen’s partnership
Riera has claimed that the three forwards would complement each other and create a formidable partnership in the team
In an interview with Habersarikirmizi, Riera lauded the three strikers and called them outstanding players.
He said, "Good players always work together. Alvaro Morata, Mauro Icardi and Victor Osimhen are exceptional players.
"I think they will communicate very well with each other on the field. Coach Okan Buruk will prefer the system where they can play most efficiently on the field.
Riera thinks the trio will excite the crowd and win the respect of their rivals, comparing their skill to a "cocktail" of elite talent.
He continued, "Really great center forwards came together at Galatasaray. I liken it to a cocktail. It has the best of everything.
"Morata, Icardi and Osimhen will create a unity that I am sure the opponents will respect. Not only Galatasaray fans, but everyone will enjoy the matches they will play together."
The Turkish giants' decision to start three top strikers might be a game-changer, as Galatasaray is vying for both domestic and European glory.
