Napoli clarifies Victor Osimhen’s release clause amid transfer speculation

Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen will sign for a club in the English Premier League next season, Africasoccer has learned.

The striker on loan at Galatasaray is a transfer target of several European and international clubs.

Last summer, many clubs made advances to secure his services from Italian Serie A outfit SSC Napoli but failed.

Ahead of the summer transfer window, Osimhen remains a target of several clubs including Chelsea and Manchester United.

According to Nigerian captain William Troost-Ekong, the striker fancies a move to the English Premier League and could sign for one of the interested teams at the end of the season.

“I know he’s a Chelsea fan, but I also know he’s had talks with all the top teams. It’s up to him what he chooses. He will fit into every team,” Troost-Ekong told Talk Sport.

The Nigerian defender continued, “I know Liverpool have spoken about getting a new striker next season. We will see.

“I’m also reading, like everyone else is, that he has a clause this summer. When he went to Galatasaray I think it worked out amazingly for him.

“I couldn’t see him playing there for another season, or anywhere else but the Premier League next season.”
