Arsenal target and Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen has responded to the rumours linking him with a transfer to the Premier League
It is no secret that despite all the attacking quality that Mikel Arteta currently has in his squad – it is no good enough to start competing for the Premier League title next season
That means that Arteta will need to delve into that transfer kitty and add another striker to the squad, as many believe that Gabriel Jesus will not be enough to get the Gunners back to that next step
And that has led to alot of rumours in the media which have suggested that Arsenal are very much interested in trying to secure a transfer deal for Osimhen – a player that has been impressing in Italian gootball
Recent reports in the media have claimed that the Napoli forward wants a move to the Premier League this summer, as it is his dream to play in the English game – but with the close of the window just a few weeks away – it seems that he is no happy to stay at Napoli
Osimhen has said that he now has no intention of moving in the current transfer window – but has not ruled out a move to the Premier League in the coming windows
“I have experienced very difficult moments, even private ones, but Napoli has always been close to me and that is one of the reasons I am here. I’m happy, I’m in a beautiful city and a wonderful club,” he told Corriere dello Sport.
“Naples is one of the best places to be a footballer: [Diego] Maradona played here, the best ever, I consider it a privilege and a great honour to play in the stadium named after him.
“They are just rumours of the market: I’m fine here and I’ve never had such close relationships with everyone as at this moment.
“I spoke to the president, he is the one who decides, and he reassured me by explaining the club’s plans.
“I am happy with what he told me and the purchases are of quality: words were followed by deeds. I am very happy to play with Napoli and we will see in the future.”
