Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is unfazed by the threat posed by the duo, admitting his team face top-level opposition every weekend in the Premier League.
“As I said, a very good team, very, very good individual players, but that's what you expect when you play against top European sides," he told a press conference as quoted by ANS.
“Obviously, we play in the Premier League, so we're facing top opponents every week, so we understand what that's about and top individual players, but again, it's a good test for us tomorrow.”
“We started well in the Europa League, our results have been good home and away, and we want to continue that,” he added.
As noted by Transfermarkt, the duo have contributed to five of the nine goals the Lions have scored in the competition this season, underlining their threat.
Osimhen sounds warning to rivals
Briefly News reported that Osimhen sounded a warning to rivals about his partnership with Icardi after Galatasaray scored a hard-fought 4-3 win over Swedish club IF Elfsborg.
The Turkish giants survived a late scare in the Europa League, and Osimhen bragged that no defence would be able to stop him and Icardi whenever they played together.
