Napoli talisman Victor Osimhen has said it is his dream to play in the English Premier League.

The in-form striker disclosed this in his speech after being voted the Foreign Athlete of the Year in Italy from the Foreign Press Association on Monday, March 6.

Speaking at the ceremony which was held in Rome, the 24-year-old also made clear his desire to guide Napoli to its third Scudetto title before exiting the club.

“A lot of people worldwide consider the Premier League as the best and strongest league,” said the 24-year-old.

“I’m in one of the best leagues of the world, which is the Italian Serie A.

“Of course, I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League someday, but it’s a process and I just want to keep on this momentum.”

The Super Eagles striker has been in a rich vein of form for the Naples-based club this season after netting 19 goals in 21 league outings to help the league leaders open a 15-point gap at the top of Serie A.

Osimhen's explosive form has drawn several interests from the Premier League and other elite European clubs.

The Nigerian international has been widely linked with a move to Manchester United in the summer as a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
