Super Eagles legend Austin Jay-Jay Okocha has weighed in on the speculations around Victor Osimhen’s future.
Osimhen's future is still one of the hottest subjects in the transfer market this summer. The Super Eagles star is in a tight situation.
He wants to leave Napoli for the English Premier League, but he is yet to get offers from there. Meanwhile, Galatasaray, where he shone while on loan last season, also want to sign him permanently and are willing to give him a significant salary bump.
Osimhen also has offers from Saudi Arabian giants Al Hilal, who are offering a jaw-dropping contract.
As it is, the 26-year-old striker is at crossroads. It is surprising that a player of his quality, who has proven to be a premium goalscorer, is having such a protracted transfer. It is almost impossible to point to a particular destination for the former Lille man.
In a related development, former Super Eagles midfielder Okocha has spoken about Osimhen's issue.
The former Eintracht Frankfurt man was coy about telling Osimhen which club to join. However, Okocha urged him to move to a club where he would be visible to his fans.
“Where would you like to see Victor Osimhen play next?”
