Thierry Henry, the Arsenal legend, is backing Victor Osimhen for a move to the Premier League. Osimhen, who plays for Napoli, has been in top form this season, scoring seven goals in 13 league games. The 25-year-old Nigerian striker has caught the attention of top clubs in Europe, with Chelsea and Arsenal showing interest in him during the January transfer window.
After leading Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years last season, Osimhen has continued his impressive performances this term. Paris Saint-Germain is also keen on acquiring his services, making it likely that there will be a bidding war for him at the end of the season. Osimhen himself has hinted at a potential move, stating that he already knows his next step.
Recent reports suggest that Osimhen may prefer a move to Chelsea, but the Blues could face financial constraints due to his £111 million release clause. Despite this, Thierry Henry believes that Osimhen would thrive in the Premier League and has expressed his desire to see him test himself in England. The former AFC Wimbledon footballer Charlie Strutton dies aged 34.
Henry’s sentiments were echoed by fellow pundit Micah Richards, who suggested Osimhen as a potential target for Arsenal. Henry responded by saying that Mikel Arteta should consider bringing in a new striker at the end of the season. With Osimhen’s impressive track record and potential, it is no surprise that top clubs are vying for his signature. It remains to be seen where the talented striker will end up next season, but one thing is for sure – he has the potential to make a big impact in the Premier League.
