Victor Osimhen appears to still be intrigued about playing in the English Premier League and he hasn't ruled out a move to England.

Osimhen has in recent months been in the news over a move away from Napoli, with several clubs reported to be interested in getting his signature, including; Manchester United and Chelsea.

Victor Osimhen joined Napoli from French club Lille on September 1, 2020, for a fee of €75 million.

The Nigerian has had a shaky season this campaign, having had a rift with key figures in the team at some point this campaign.

Osimhen displayed a petulant reaction when he was substituted in a game earlier this season, before also showing his grievance with a spiteful TikTok video shared by Napoli.

Victor Osimhen has in several interviews talked about his desire to play in the Premier League, with the latest being in a recent interview with Sky Sports.

The 25-year-old in an interview with Sky said: “Of course, one day I’d love to play in the Premier League definitely”.

However, Osimhen added that he currently has other plans for his career, and when it's time for him to move, “everyone will know”.

He said: “But for now I've other plans for my career, when the time comes, everyone will know.”

Victor Osimhen has scored 8 goals and provided 3 assists in 18 appearances for the Neapolitans this campaign.

Napoli have experienced a deep slump this season, away from their immense heights last term.

The Italian side sit 8th on the Serie A table, with 31 points from 20 league matches.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria international has scored 105 goals and provided 27 assists in 209 appearances thus far in his career.

He has played for just 3 clubs so far in his career, including; Wolfsburg, Sporting Charleroi, and Losc Lille.

Anyway, Osimhen is currently occupied with the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, as he is aiming to help Nigeria win their 4th title in history.

Victor Osimhen netted in their opening game of the tournament, heading the ball home following a cross from Ademola Lookman.

Despite missing several golden opportunities to equalize, his position in the Nigeria national team appears unshaken.

Osimhen has scored 21 goals and provided 8 assists in 29 appearances for the Super Eagles.

Victor Osimhen is expected to be in action on Thursday, January 18, 2024, when Nigeria clashes against hosts Ivory Coast in their second game of the 2023 AFCON.

That encounter is expected to be highly competitive, with the two teams keen on getting a favorable result out of the game.

Nigeria sit 3rd in Group A, with 1 point from 1 group game played so far and they will have to start recording victories to progress to the next round.
