Nigerian Striker Victor Osimhen Set to Leave Napoli, Premier League Move Possible

Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian international currently playing for Napoli, is set to leave the club at the end of the season, according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport. Osimhen recently made headlines after scoring the equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Barcelona in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg. Despite signing a contract extension until 2026, Osimhen is still expected to depart Napoli, with a release clause of around €120-130m included in his new deal.

Several clubs, including Chelsea and Arsenal, have been linked with a move for the 25-year-old striker. La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that Osimhen could be heading to the Premier League next summer. Journalist Vincenzo D'Angelo wrote in the printed edition of the newspaper that many consider Osimhen to be one of the best strikers in the world, second only to Erling Haaland, whom he could potentially meet next season.

Osimhen has recently returned from the Africa Cup of Nations and has been in impressive form for Napoli, scoring nine goals in 19 appearances across all competitions this season. As the end of the season approaches, the football world eagerly awaits Osimhen's next move and the potential meeting between him and Haaland in the future.
