Peseiro predicts Osimhen's Napoli exit

Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro believes that Victor Osimhen's days at Napoli are numbered following the 23-year-old's blistering form this season.

The Napoli talisman has managed 10 goal contributions (8 goals and 2 assists) in 10 Serie A matches for the Naples-based team despite missing five weeks of action due to injury.

The Portuguese tactician believes it will be difficult for the Italian side to keep the Super Eagles striker at end of the season due to his staggering stats.

"Osimhen scores a lot and he is young. It is certainly not easy, usually, a centre forward finds this level later on. But he always scores, at this moment I don't think I'm wrong if I say that every team in the world wants to buy him. He knows how to press, he knows how to score. He knows how to use his body: He would know how to play in all teams," Peseiro told the Napoli Magazine as per Goal.

"Napoli are playing very well, they are first, the benefits are for both. For him, for the coach, and for his teammates. Keeping a player like this for Napoli will not be easy given the value and the demands he will have. Complete centre-forward: he assists, scores from the right, left, is strong in the defensive phase, knows how to press and is not easy to defend for a central defence.

"In June, in the summer, I believe that Napoli will ask for several million for him ... And I think there will be many clubs to offer them: he is young and still has great growth potential."

Osimhen's name featured prominently in the summer transfer speculations with Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle United reportedly interested in the services of the ex-Lille striker.

In the last few days, Real Madrid, Spurs, and Juventus have joined the chase for the Nigerian international.

Osimhen and his Napoli side will hope to continue their astonishing winning streak when they tackle Udinese in their last Serie A game before the World Cup break.
