Napoli coach Rino Gattuso is eager to ease the hype around new signing Victor Osimhen.

The Nigeria striker struck a hat-trick in a friendly yesterday.

Gattuso said, “It's too easy to get excited now, we've got to give him time and let him work, not put pressure on.

“He is an important player and we paid a lot for him, but there were no doubts he would give us something different that we haven't had in my time here. There's a long way to go.

“It's not like we suddenly signed Pele or Maradona, we simply brought in a player with certain characteristics that can help us."
