Following a successful stint in Serie A, the Nigerian striker is reportedly open to a new challenge in the Premier League.

Having demonstrated his prowess since his move from Lille in 2020, Osimhen has solidified his reputation as one of the most exciting strikers in world of football.

As negotiations continue, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United’s offer will entice Napoli to part ways with their prized asset.
