Popular Nigerian cleric Primate Ayodele Babatunde has issued another warning to wantaway Napoli striker Victor Osimhen about his future.
Osimhen, who is expected to leave the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium has become a hot topic in the transfer window this summer, despite signing a contract extension with the club last December.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Chelsea and Arsenal as frontrunners.
The reigning African Footballer of the Year has also been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain as reports indicated that Osimhen had agreed to personal terms with the Ligue 1 champions.
Osimhen's release clause has become a significant obstacle to his potential move away from Naples.
In a latest development, Ayodele has advised that the Super Eagles striker should decline a move to Stamford Bridge and instead consider joining Arsenal.
In a viral social media video, the popular prophet stated: “Osimhen cannot work in Chelsea, if he goes to Chelsea he will not shine. Let him be looking for Arsenal,” he noted.
