Victor Osimhen expressed his satisfaction after playing his part in Napoli's opening-day win over Verona.

The Nigerian turned in just before half time to put the Azzurri 2-1 up, before they eventually ran out 5-2 winners at the Bentegodi.

"I'm happy with my goal but most importantly because we won,” the striker began. “We needed to get off to a good start for team morale at the start of this new cycle.

“It shows we're still a great team and that we've signed some talented players.

“The lads are helping me a lot and [Luciano] Spalletti has great confidence in me.

“[Kvitcha] Kvara[tskhelia] scored a good goal – and just before then I said he was going to score! He's a top-quality player but we have strength and quality throughout this squad.”
