Super Eagles and Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen, is likely to move to the English Premier League in the summer transfer window rather than French giants, Paris Saint-Germain, who are frontrunners for his signature.
This is according to transfer expert, Gianluca Di Marzio.
The Nigeria international extended his contract last December until 2026, with a release clause in the region of 130 million euros inserted into the deal but has since fallen out with the Club’s hierarchy.
Paris Saint-Germain on the other hand, is targeting Osimhen as a replacement for Kylian Mbappé whose contract ends in June and is set to join Real Madrid.
Osimhen, the reigning African Footballer of the Year has French Ligue 1 experience, making 27 appearances for Lille in the 2019-2020 season, scoring 13 goals.
PSG, who are favourites to sign Osimhen have a good relationship with his club Napoli, whose football advisor, Luis Campos, recruited the former Golden Eaglets striker for Lille in 2019 after scouting the striker for about four years.
Di Marzio however believes that Osimhen would prefer a move to either English sides, Chelsea or Arsenal, and will be uninterested in returning to the French League having already experienced it with Lille.
