Former Portugal international Ricardo Quaresma has offered strong praise for Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, describing him as a player capable of performing for any team in world football. 

Speaking to A Spor, Quaresma reflected on Osimhen’s development and current form, noting that he followed the forward closely during his spell at Napoli. The comments were shared by De Marke Sports on X and have since drawn attention from supporters in Turkey.

Quaresma stated that he enjoyed watching Osimhen during his time in Serie A and believes the striker has maintained a high level since moving to. “Osimhen is a very good player. I enjoyed watching him during his time at Napoli. I think he's playing very well at Galatasaray too,” Quaresma said.

The 42-year-old also expressed personal regret that Osimhen never featured for Beşiktaş, the club where Quaresma had two successful spells. “He's a player who can play for any team. I wish he had played for Beşiktaş, but it's good to see him here too,” he added.
