Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian footballer who helped Napoli win the Serie A title, should move to a Premier League club next, according to Sunday Oliseh, the former Super Eagles head coach. Osimhen scored the equalizing goal in Napoli’s 1-1 draw against Udinese at the Dacia Arena on Thursday night, securing the Partenopei’s first Serie A title in 33 years.
Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United, are said to be interested in signing the 22-year-old striker this summer. Oliseh, taking to Twitter to congratulate Osimhen for his role in Napoli’s title success, also expressed his belief that the player is now in full contention for the worldwide coronation.
“I was tensed when they trailed 0-1. By leading Napoli to this title, Osimhen, in my opinion, is now in full contention for Worldwide coronation! Next step? The Premier League I feel. Congrats Bro!” Oliseh tweeted.

Osimhen is currently the leading scorer in Serie A with 22 goals from 26 games, making him an attractive prospect for clubs looking to bolster their attacking options. The Nigerian international joined Napoli from French side Lille in the summer of 2020 for a reported fee of €70m, making him the most expensive African player in history.
Osimhen’s performances for Napoli this season have been nothing short of remarkable, and he has established himself as one of the best young talents in European football. He has been a key player for Napoli throughout the campaign, scoring crucial goals in important matches and helping the team secure their first league title in over three decades.

His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with several top European clubs expressing their interest in signing him. Chelsea and Manchester United are said to be among the frontrunners for his signature, with both clubs looking to add more firepower to their respective attacking lineups.

His pace, strength, and clinical finishing make him a nightmare for defenders, and his ability to create chances for his teammates would be a valuable asset for any team.
However, it remains to be seen whether Napoli would be willing to part with their prized asset so soon after signing him, and if they do decide to sell, they are likely to demand a high fee for his services.
Osimhen’s potential move to the Premier League would also be a significant boost for Nigerian football, which has produced some of the best players in the world in recent years. The country has a rich footballing history and has produced some of the greatest players of all time, including Nwankwo Kanu, Jay-Jay Okocha, and Austin Jay-Jay Okocha.
