England International Fikayo Tomori has named Nigerian forwards Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman among the toughest attackers he has faced in his career.
The AC Milan centre-back made the remarks while reflecting on some of the most difficult forwards he has encountered in top-level football.
According to Tomori, Osimhen’s relentless energy and physical presence make the striker particularly challenging for defenders to deal with.
“Osimhen is a force of nature; he never stops running,” Tomori said.

The defender also praised Lookman, highlighting the winger’s pace and ability on the ball. Lookman currently plays for Atalanta B.C. and has established himself as one of the club’s key attacking threats.

“Lookman is also incredibly difficult to mark. He’s very quick and moves the ball with impressive speed,” Tomori added.
