Serie A: Why Conte selected Lukaku over Osimhen - Former Napoli striker, Calaio

Former Napoli striker Emanuele Calaio claims that Antonio Conte chose Romelu Lukaku over Victor Osimhen because of the Belgian's leadership abilities.

Conte was appointed as manager of the former Serie A champions this summer.

One of his first decisions was to keep Osimhen out of the first team.
Despite interest from Chelsea and Saudi Arabia, Osimhen finally agreed on a season-long loan with Galatasaray.

"Osimhen is stronger than Lukaku, but Conte clearly chose the Belgian because he is a locker room man and a leader," Calaio told Napoli Magazine.

Have you seen what he done to Monza? It was evident from the TV that he consistently cheered and guided his players."
