Walter Mazzarri, the manager of Napoli, has admitted that Victor Osimhen needs more time to reach his best form.
Since returning from a hamstring injury, Osimhen has failed to find his best form.
The 24-year-old went scoreless in games against Bologna, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan.
On Friday, the Serie A champions will face Juventus at the Allianz Arena in Turin.

Mazzarri warned ahead of the highly anticipated clash that Osimhen is not at his best yet.
“Osimhen obviously needs time to find his best form, also in terms of physical conformation,” the gaffer was quoted by the club’s official website.
“But it’s clear that even if he wasn’t at one hundred percent, he can still give me great guarantees for the strength he knows how to express, even for portions of matches like he has done so far after returning.”
The 24-year-old has scored six goals in 10 league appearances for the Partenopei this season.
Kanyidaily recalls that Osimhen, Napoli wrestled in contract talks and formal agreement is yet to take place.
