Premier League Giants Enter the Fray to Sign Napoli Star Victor Osimhen After Chelsea’s Interest Cools
Victor Osimhen, Napoli’s Nigerian star forward, has been linked with a move to the Premier League once again, with new suitors Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain entering the race after Chelsea dropped their interest. The 25-year-old has been a key player for the Partenopei, and his impressive form has caught the attention of several top European clubs.
According to reports, Chelsea, who had been linked with Osimhen earlier, have cooled their interest due to concerns over the Nigerian’s attitude and work rate. This has led to Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain making contact with the player’s representatives, with the London club willing to offer a significant signing bonus to secure his services.
Napoli coach Antonio Conte, who had initially included Osimhen in his pre-season plans, has dropped the forward from the team, indicating that his time at the Stadio San Paolo could soon come to an end. When asked about Osimhen’s situation, Conte said, "We’re talking about Victor as a professional, an excellent, top player. I spoke to him, and he knows that absolutely nothing has changed. He belongs to Napoli, and he knows that those who belong to Napoli have to work hard and have the right attitude."
Meanwhile, Osimhen’s agent has confirmed that his client has an apparent release clause of £110 million, making him one of the most expensive strikers in the world. With Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain showing serious interest, the question on everyone’s mind is whether Osimhen will stay in Italy or make the switch to the Premier League.
