Nigerian Star Osimhen Primed For Premier League Success, Says Bassey
Fulham’s Calvin Bassey champions his compatriot Victor Osimhen as a perfect fit for the Premier League. Osimhen, a prolific striker, has consistently attracted interest from top English clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal.
Recently extending his contract with Napoli, Osimhen’s new deal includes a release clause ranging between €130m and €140m.
Despite this commitment, speculation remains rife about a potential move to the Premier League, with major clubs undeterred by the new contract terms.
Bassey expressed his admiration for Osimhen’s skill set, emphasizing that the Nigerian forward possesses an ideal mix of talents for the English top-flight. “He is an extraordinary talent – the type of striker who can single-handedly challenge a defensive line,” remarked Bassey.
The Premier League would be a perfect match for his abilities. I hope he joins us eventually, but frankly, I’d rather have him as a teammate than face him on the pitch!”
Victor Osimhen’s versatile skills and prowess as a striker have earned him admiration worldwide. Bassey’s endorsement further fuels the anticipation surrounding Osimhen’s potential move to the Premier League, where his style of play could flourish.
