Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has come out to respond to the rumours linking him with a transfer to the Premier League. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he has no intention of moving in the current transfer window and if he considers it a privilege to ply his trade at one of the top clubs in Italy.
Osimhen, however, added that he is inspired by Tottenham’s Harry Kane, and he looks up to as a role model.
His words, “I have experienced very difficult moments, even private ones, but Napoli has always been close to me and that is one of the reasons I am here. I’m happy, I’m in a beautiful city and a wonderful club.”
“Naples is one of the best places to be a footballer: [Diego] Maradona played here, the best ever, I consider it a privilege and a great honour to play in the stadium named after him. They are just rumours of the market: I’m fine here and I’ve never had such close relationships with everyone as at this moment.”
“I spoke to the president, he is the one who decides, and he reassured me by explaining the club’s plans. I am happy with what he told me and the purchases are of quality: words were followed by deeds. I am very happy to play with Napoli and we will see in the future.”
“Drogba is my idol, my inspiration, he has always motivated me to become who I am and one day I hope to get close to him,”
“Today I am also inspired by Harry Kane, but there are many strikers around that I like and can learn something from.”
“Immobile is my favourite Italian striker. I like him a lot. [Dusan] Vlahovic is also very strong.”
“Then [Romelu] Lukaku is back [at Inter], there is Lautaro [Martinez]. And there’s me. It will be a good fight [for the Scudetto].”
