Tomori: Osimhen, Lookman Are Difficult To Mark
**Tomori: Osimhen and Lookman Are a Nightmare to Mark**
AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori has shared his thoughts on the challenges of marking Nigerian forwards Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman. While Osimhen is now a Galatasaray player, having left Italy in the summer of 2024, Lookman recently joined Atlético Madrid from Atalanta in February.
In a recent interview with fcinter1908, Tomori, an English international, described Osimhen and Lookman as his biggest opponents to mark in the game. According to him, their unpredictable playing styles make them a nightmare to deal with on the pitch.
Tomori praised Osimhen's relentless energy, saying, "Osimhen is like a force of nature; he never stops running. His non-stop movement is very difficult to contain." He also commended Lookman's speed and agility, stating, "Lookman is incredibly difficult to mark; he's very quick and moves the ball with impressive speed."
It's no surprise that Tomori has a deep respect for Osimhen and Lookman's skills, considering their impact on the game. As a member of AC Milan's squad that won the Italian Serie A title in 2022, Tomori would have had the opportunity to face both players on several occasions. He also won the Italian Super Cup in 2025, a testament to his skills and experience in the beautiful game.
Nigerian football fans will be thrilled to know that two of their country's finest talents are causing a stir in the European football scene. Osimhen's transfer to Galatasaray and Lookman's move to Atlético Madrid have sparked a lot of interest in the Nigerian football community, and Tomori's words of praise only add to their growing reputation as two of the most feared forwards in the game.
