“He (Osimhen) would certainly give them something different to what they have now,” Heskey told Anfield Watch.
“He’s different to Nunez who can play out wide; Osimhen would be that central goal threat.
“He’s quick, has an eye for goal, and can finish really well with both feet. He’s a top player. I think Napoli paid quite a lot for him, so that’s why he’s commanding a £100m transfer fee.
“He’s a phenomenal player, and I think his pace means he would be very much suited to the Premier League.”
The 23-year-old has scored 10 goals and recorded three assists in 14 appearances across all competitions for Napoli this season.
