Victor Osimhen: one of Nigeria's best players

IKEJA, Nigeria - Feb. 15, 2023 - PRLog -- Victor James Osimhen is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club Napoli and the Nigeria national team. He is regarded as one of the best strikers in Serie A and in the world. Born in Nigeria, Osimhen began his senior career in Germany at VfL Wolfsburg in 2017.

Napoli star Victor Osimhen has been making headlines for all of the right reasons, and his sensational performances for the Serie A side have garnered attention all across the continent. He has played a total of 196 games for Napoli and scored a total of 99 goals.

Arsenal and Chelsea going head-to-head over Victor Osimhen

Last summer, Victor Osimhen was a huge target for some top clubs, but Napoli stood firm and did not entertain any forthcoming offers. Their decision has reaped the rewards as the 17-goal striker has helped Napoli take an incredible 15-point lead at the summit of the Serie A table.

While club president Aurelio De Laurentiis insists he is not for sale, the Napoli supremo could entertain offers close to his €150 million valuations. Manchester United and Chelsea are willing to pay around €120 million for the Nigerian, but that may not suffice. Football journalist Ciro Venerato insists Arsenal and Chelsea could battle it out in an 'auction' next summer, with the London giants expected to fight for Osimhen's signature.

Ciro Venerato said, "If Osimhen were to then decide to give in to the sirens of the Premier League, an auction would ensue between Arsenal and Chelsea, with figures that could be around €150m." "The future of the Nigerian will be decided in June in a summit with his prosecutors. A contractual adjustment will be needed, to which the president is open, even going beyond the parameters of the club."

Osimhen is certainly an opportunity Arsenal will not ignore. Moreover, they may have the upper hand over rivals Chelsea if the Blues fail to qualify for next season's Champions League. Overall, the race for Osimhen will pick up pace as we approach the summer window, with the striker set for a big move to the Premier League.
