Nigerian striker Osimhen gets condition to join EPL club

By Taiwo Okanlawon

Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has said that Victor Osimhen has a good chance of moving to the Premier League after this season but urged him to join a club, where he will play regularly.

Osimhen is one of the hottest young prospects in Europe at the moment, after enjoying a brilliant debut season with Lille.

The 21-year-old has been linked with Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester United in England.

Rohr, speaking on Channels Television, however, advised Osimhen not to rush his decision.

“If he stays for another season it would be good for him because he’s playing.

“If he is going to a very big club – you have seen the clubs ready to buy him now – he is not so sure to play because there’s a big competition for the starting places in the team,” he said.
