Serie A club Napoli will consider selling Victor Osimhen this summer, which could be worth more than €100m, according to reports.
The Premier League seems the most likely destination, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United interested in the Nigeria international.
Osimhen wants to play Champions League football next season, so talks with the Gunners have been put on hold at the moment.

to Barcelona in January.
The North London club also lose forwards; Eddie Nketiah and Alexander Lacazette this summer.

Clown, who told you the bloke is lazy? Were you there when he was fighting his way out from depravity in Wolfsburg to charleroi, lille, and now Napoli? Una go just dey rigamarole, if eh pain you so much go slap jorginho wey miss penalty for italy, man gave his all on that day with little help, but small mistake una wan bury am,ah make dem bury you baba, and also, if you don’t watch Napoli matches to see the crap that happens every match, close mouth make others wey dey watch match talk, you must not speak all the time, if you need analysis, you can ask,
If Napoli can add a very supportive attacking midfielder or a good support striker who can complement Victor’s play upfront, then I think Victor should remain at Napoli and try again to win the scudetto next season before leaving.
However, if no such changes are feasible and his current teammates are still bent on starving him of service, allowing him struggle so much alone upfront, then he should head to Arsenal because I believe he will have a better midfield support.
It’s really frustrating and saddening to watch him struggle alone every weekend at Napoli; indeed his potential is grossly underutilized at Napoli.
God bless Victor Osimhen! I pray for the very best for him!
Should Oshimen go to a new club , it will have to be one who is always consistent in participating in the UCl for that IS The Highlight of a players career. He shouldn’t be clouded by the money the club wants to buy him or the amount he is to be payed though it’s a good thing . What’s most important is to go to a club where his legacy will speak for him for many years to come. He NeeDs to be in a club where he can win leagues , UCL, where he can be picked for African footballer of the year , Ballon D’ors and world player of the year . I hope he makes the best decision . Before he leaves Napoli in which I still believes that he needs to still be there so as to gain more experience from Spalleti who can help him further as a striker, his agents needs to be careful not to mess with his assets when it comes to the opportunity that would serve them well on a long run .
@DirtyGhana I need to ask you what is your problem? From your comments it shows that you never followed Victor Oshimen in his Journey as a football player in Europe and yet you call him lazy and start comparing him to Salah, Mane and Drogba. You truly got a problem I can tell. And perhaps it’s because of dhere you’re from that you enjoy tainting Oshimen all because he didn’t qualify for the world cup . Guess what Victor Oshimen doesn’t have your time because you’re just a mouth piece that doesn’t serve a good word. Define lazy should you be man enough and I’ll lay down how much Oshimen have put his body and soul to the game . U17 world champion with 10 goals yet to be broken who had to face the odds in Germany one of the most if not the most physical league in the world , moved to Belgium and scored 24 goals , moved to France and would have scored more than the 18 goals he scored had COVID not surfaced , came to italy where the toughest defenders exist and can still survive even survived lossing an eye an had to be operated upon and due to this missed the Afcon and was even the highest goal scorer at the Afcon qualifiers and you call him lazy. Seriously , you sure are lost out of time .or is it because you guys don’t have an actual natural striker of his calibre that you enjoy lashing him for the so called bicycle kick . He is a striker and his job requires him to do whatever necessary to deliver . Assuming that bicycle kick did become a goal and assuming Ikpeba was wise enough as a veteran to act as a true mentor , people like you wouldn’t widen your mouth to be talking likewise.
To all the people campaigning against Osimhen nowadays, may be we should drop him for either Sadiq or Onuachu or Awoniyi or for one sharp striker from NPFL. So that he won’t be playing bicycle kick again since he plays it in every match.
@DirtyGhana , I think you were a bit harsh with the Kid. He is young and would make mistakes.
However, you are correct, the English Media has been known to prey on players. Every misconduct is highlighted and Osimhen must know that he would be under the microscope. He needs to focus on his football and most importantly, he needs to stay humble. Outbursts like the one he had regarding Victor Ikpeba would ruin him. People who have his best interest should advise him.
He must realize that there is nothing he will achieve that others have not achieved before him. Salah & Mane despite their achievements, fame and fortune are still humble. This is what he needs to emulate.
To be fair, it is had to stay grounded with all the adulation and praise he receives globally but he has to stay grounded.
