“Right from when I was little, I’ve always wanted to show my talents in a big club in the Premier league,and with Sir Jim Manchester United resolution and the BIG plans he has been making to restore the club to it’s former glory, I’ll be more than happy to be the new number 9 so I can help make a difference in Manchester United” This were the words of Napoli Striker Victor OSIMHEN in the press conference after being asked of his plans to join Premier League
According to a recent rumour, Manchester United has come out on top in the competition to sign Victor Osimhen. This is an unexpected development. It is expected that the gifted Napoli striker will depart the Italian champions after a dismal campaign. Osimhen’s exit is made possible by a reported €130 million release clause, which enables prospective suitors to sign him without having to speak with his present club.
In the past, the Nigerian forward was strongly associated with Chelsea, Arsenal, and PSG. Osimhen is seen by PSG as the best option to replace Kylian Mbappe, who is rumoured to be joining Real Madrid. Chelsea and Arsenal, meanwhile, are eager to add a top-notch number nine to their attacking lineups. At first, Osimhen’s rumoured ambition to play like Blues great Didier Drogba gave Chelsea hope that he would sign with them. However, their prospects of obtaining Osimhen have decreased because it’s possible that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a colleague from Napoli, will reject Chelsea.
Additionally, there had been talk that Ratcliffe was considering Osimhen as a big-name acquisition for Chelsea, provided they qualified for the Champions League. But a string of defeats has clouded Chelsea’s Champions League chances, changing the dynamics of their pursuit of Osimhen.
