July 25, (THEWILL) – In-form Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen, has once again emphasised that he is not interested in rumours of a potential summer transfer to the English Premier League from Napoli.
A number of teams in Europe’s top five leagues have been keeping a close eye on Osimhen after the 23-year-old scored 14 goals in 27 Serie A games last season, establishing a reputation as one of the more fascinating young strikers in the business.
Osimhen has been linked to teams like Arsenal, Tottenham, and Newcastle United this summer in the EPL alone. Recently, the Nigerian has also reportedly drawn interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.
But he has consistently emphasised his desire to remain at Napoli, and he was very explicit in a recent interview that nothing has changed in his eyes. He said: “I’m at Napoli and I have great respect for my club. These are just market rumours, I’m happy here and I’ve never had such close relations with everyone as I do right now.
“I spoke with President De Laurentiis, he is the one who decides, and he reassured me by explaining the club’s plans. I’m happy with what he told me and the signings are quality, words have been followed by deeds. I’m very happy to play with Napoli and in the future we’ll see.”
