Nigeria: Oliseh warns Osimhen to move to EPL or regret it

Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh has urged Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to make a swift move to the English Premier League or risk living with regret over a missed opportunity. Oliseh shared his thoughts on social media, amid ongoing uncertainty over Osimhen’s next destination.

“Victor Osimhen is at a very delicate crossroad. He needs to find his way to the Premier League in a hurry or he risks so much regret! Man. United and Arsenal need this player if only…,” Oliseh wrote.

Osimhen’s expected big-money move to the Premier League appears increasingly unlikely, despite his impressive goal-scoring record and reduced release clause. Napoli has lowered their asking price to €75m, but Premier League clubs have yet to make serious advances.

Galatasaray has emerged as a front-runner for Osimhen’s signature, having tabled a formal offer and agreed personal terms with the player. Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal is also monitoring the situation, but Osimhen is said to favor staying in Europe.

Formerly linked with Manchester United, Osimhen’s chances of signing with the club are reportedly slim due to his wage demands and satisfaction with life in Istanbul. Arsenal’s interest has also cooled amid other priorities.
