Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen has confirmed his intention to join a Premier League club next season, according to his representatives. The news comes as several Saudi Pro League clubs had expressed interest in acquiring the Super Eagles star.
Osimhen’s determination to play in England’s top flight follows a failed transfer to Chelsea last summer. The Nigerian striker is reportedly being monitored by several Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United.
Napoli, Osimhen’s parent club, is reportedly willing to let him leave, as his departure would provide the necessary funds to sign a new striker. While Galatasaray has expressed interest in keeping him permanently, Osimhen appears resolute in his pursuit of a Premier League move.
Manchester United, struggling with a misfiring attack, sees Osimhen as a potential solution to their goal-scoring woes. Chelsea, having missed out on signing him last summer, is still considering making another attempt. Arsenal has also been monitoring the striker closely, given their need for a consistent goal scorer.
Newcastle United may view Osimhen as an option should Alexander Isak leave, while Aston Villa is looking to add more depth to their attacking options. With several top Premier League clubs vying for his signature, Osimhen’s next move is eagerly anticipated.
