Osimhen reacts to Arsenal, Chelsea links amid growing Premier League interest

Super Eagles forward has been subject of various Premier League links for months now 

Victor Osimhen has reacted to the Premier League interests in him and has said he feels good about them as they are a testament to his progression as a footballer.

The attacker has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United with the Gunners reportedly having a bid rejected by Napoli.

The Partenopeans have slammed a €110m price tag on Osimhen with that range looking seemingly impossible to reach for any club.

“First of all, when I see these big clubs are interested in me and it’s legit and my agent confirms these things to me, it’s like big pride to me,” Osimhen told WAZOBIA FM.

“It shows I’m doing something right in my career. I just want to continue doing what I am doing but it’s a thing of pride for me and I’m very happy about myself.”

Osimhen joined Napoli in 2020 in a €70m deal and won the Serie A U-23 Player of the Year after scoring 14 goals and had 5 assists despite an injury-plagued season.
