Osimhen won’t be inexpensive with a nine-figure price tag around his neck, but adoring looks from England are starting to turn some heads in his favour.
When asked if his Nigerian international team-mate was interested in a life in the Premier League, Everton midfielder Iwobi replied: “He has asked. All of them ask. I am sure he probably has the ambition to play in the Premier League.”
Osimhen admitted that playing in the Premier League will be a dream come true for him in the future. “I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League some day but, like I said, it’s a process and I just want to keep on this momentum and continue to do well.”
Osimhen’s contract with Napoli expires in 2025 so they are in no rush to sell. Still, teams like Manchester United and Chelsea still have established No. 9 needs and they are ready to spend a lot of money to acquire players with a lot of potential.
