Nigeria forward, Victor Osimhen has come out to express his sadness after Lille failed to qualify for the UCL next season.
He recently revealed that despite his happiness at being named Lille Player of the Season, it was frustrating to fail in his quest to help the club seal a spot in the top European competition.
According to him, winning Lille player of the season was not really his target but he still appreciates his team-mates and everyone who voted for him.
He added that there are too many fake news regarding his future so fans should disregard most reports of transfers involving him on the news.
His words, “Winning the Lille player of the season was not my target. My target was to help the team finish in the Champions League spot, but I want to thank my team-mates and those who voted for me,”
“I’m really happy – it’s a great feeling – I’m here and proving it. The league is not as easy as some people think. It’s very competitive and you have to play among the best.”
On his future, “There’s a lot of fake news about me already agreeing a deal with Napoli – it’s sickening. Please disregard any report of transfers involving me on the news. I want to stay mute on all these as I mourn my late father,”
“Whenever I’m in my free time, I reminisce on the past. My humble beginning makes me the person I am today – it’s me never, never wanting to give up,”
“So whenever I’m on the pitch, whenever I think about where I’m coming from, my family background, I don’t want to relent – I want to make them proud and I want to give my all.”
“I said some years back that I have a point to prove at Wolfsburg but I couldn’t get the chance,”
“Now I’m here and proving it and I’m sending messages across and a lot of them are sending me messages also, calling to congratulate me.”
