Nigeria’s assistant coach Daniel Ogunmodede has urged top Premier League clubs to pursue Victor Osimhen this summer, declaring “Any team that signs him is almost guaranteed to win the league title”. Ogunmodede lauded Osimhen as “currently the best number nine in the world,” citing his prolific loan spell at Galatasaray as evidence of elite quality.
Napoli, Osimhen’s parent club, have reportedly placed a £64 million price tag on him while Saudi side Al‑Hilal are prepared to match his hefty wage demands. Yet interest from Europe remains intense: Premier League giants Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, as well as PSG and Inter Milan, have all monitored his situation following a 26-goal campaign in Turkey that helped Galatasaray secure a domestic double.
Ogunmodede emphasised Osimhen’s influence, stating “He’s hardworking, disciplined, and fully committed” With Osimhen expected to decide on his future imminently, clubs eager for a goal threat are being warned time is of the essence to land one of football’s most potent strikers.

We believe Ogunmodede’s endorsement of Victor Osimhen rings true. His output in Turkey 26 league goals and a crucial role in Galatasaray’s success places him among the world’s elite. A striker of his calibre rarely becomes available; those chasing silverware should act decisively.
We hold that Osimhen’s qualities pace, power, consistency align perfectly with the needs of ambitious clubs. European heavyweights have struggled for a dependable goal-getter Osimhen can fill that void. His professionalism and work ethic, praised by Ogunmodede, offer the added bonus of a player whose impact transcends the pitch.
Yet we also see complexity. A transfer of this magnitude demands strategic thinking from crafting contracts to ensuring squad harmony. Club and player must align on vision and role. For Osimhen, a move must foster both personal growth and competitive success.
We stand firm: football success favours bold decisions grounded in clarity. If Arsenal, Chelsea, United, Liverpool or even PSG and Inter truly want to elevate their ambition, signing Osimhen is no gamble it’s opportunity. Conversations should shift to action the future rewards those who seize it.
