“Higuain is very useless. What did Cavani win ft or Napoli. Osimhen is far better than the two.”

@Royal_Citizens:

“Most chose Osimhen due to recency bias.”

@IsdoreChima:

“Cavani and Higuain were both prolific goal scorers ,but they didn’t win Napoli the league, Osimhen did and even won the golden boot same season. That’s why the younger ones choose Osimhen because they craved for trophy, the older ones were used to failure.”

“Imagine not picking Higuain, who had one of the best peaks of any Serie A ST of all time.”

@bizzy_man44:
