Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu has made a stunning revelation, naming Nigerian football sensation Victor Osimhen as the toughest opponent he has ever faced in Serie A.
Speaking on Juventus’ podcast *Small Talk*, Kalulu, who previously played for AC Milan, admitted that Osimhen’s raw power, blistering speed, and clinical finishing made him an absolute nightmare for defenders. “I think it was Osimhen,” Kalulu told *Football Italia*, emphasizing how difficult it was to contain the Napoli striker on the pitch.
Osimhen, a key figure in Napoli’s historic Serie A title-winning campaign in 2022-2023, has established himself as one of the deadliest strikers in European football. His ability to dominate defenders, create goal-scoring opportunities, and find the back of the net with ease has made him one of the most sought-after forwards in the world.

The Nigerian international has been heavily linked with a move to some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Manchester United and Chelsea, as his market value continues to soar. With his relentless energy and goal-scoring prowess, Osimhen is proving to be a generational talent destined for greatness.
Kalulu, who lifted the Serie A title with AC Milan in the 2021-2022 season, has faced numerous world-class forwards. However, he insists that no one challenged him quite like Osimhen. His remarks only further highlight why top European clubs are scrambling to secure the signature of Nigeria’s goal machine.
