Ajax head coach, John Heitinga, has emphasised the need for his team to contain Victor Osimhen when they face Galatasaray in their UEFA Champions League Group Stage encounter on Wednesday at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Osimhen has been in outstanding form for the Turkish champions, scoring three goals in two Champions League appearances and six goals in seven matches across all competitions this season.
Heitinga acknowledged the Nigerian striker’s threat, describing him as one of the most complete forwards in Europe.
“Victor Osimhen is a great striker. He’s smart, strong, and fast; you have to be smart about that. He’s a pretty complete player, but we will do everything in our power to neutralise him,” the Ajax boss said.
The Dutch giants will be hoping to bounce back from their previous defeat as they look to revive their qualification hopes in the competition.
