Victor Osimhen names the Premier League team he supports ahead of summer transfer

Troost-Ekong also hinted that Osimhen is poised to make his move to the Premier League next season.

Currently shining at Napoli while on loan at Galatasaray, Osimhen has drawn significant interest from England’s elite clubs.

Last summer, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United were among the teams chasing his signature. Although

Manchester United remains in the conversation, Chelsea and Arsenal might resume their interest, depending on the circumstances.

With Liverpool and Tottenham also on the hunt for a striker, Osimhen’s name could feature prominently in their summer transfer plans. His future promises to be one of the biggest talking points in the transfer market.

Troost-Ekong confirmed Osimhen’s future plans while speaking to TalkSport: “I know he’s a Chelsea fan, but I also know he’s had talks with all the top teams. It’s up to him what he chooses. He will fit into every team.

“I know Liverpool have spoken about getting a new striker next season. We will see.

“I’m also reading, like everyone else is, that he has a clause this summer. When he went to Galatasaray I think it worked out amazingly for him.

“I couldn’t see him playing there for another season, or anywhere else but the Premier League next season.”

Osimhen has been in top form this campaign, scoring 20 goals in 22 Super Lig games. His goal-scoring instincts and overall playstyle make him a strong fit for the Premier League, according to Troost-Ekong:

“Finishing is the part he’s working on the most. His qualities are his tenacity, he’s relentless, he’ll chase down every ball. In the air he’s amazing. You can play the ball up to him and he’ll hold the ball up.

“If he’s one-on-one in the box, or you cross it in, he’s going to score. He’s direct so I think that’s why he would suit the Premier League.”

Napoli has set his release clause at around €80m this summer, a drop from the €120m figure that was quoted last year.
