Transfer: Osimhen can play for European top clubs – Peseiro

Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, believes Victor Osimhen has the right qualities to play for any of the European big clubs.

Osimhen is expected to leave Serie A champions, Napoli this summer despite signing a new deal last December.

The 25-year-old was recently linked with a move to Ligue 1 champions, Paris Saint-Germain as replacement for Frenchman Kylian Mbappe who look set to join Real Madrid in the summer.

The striker has also been linked with big guns like Chelsea and Arsenal.

Peseiro insisted that the powerful forward can play for any team in the world.

“I think he can play for any team in the world,” Peseiro told Spanish publication, Sport.

“I’m not going to say one to avoid speculation. He is an animal when it comes to pressing, very good with his head, in the area, and with his eye, which he also associates.

“Of course, he doesn’t associate like other Barça players, but City also looked for associative football and went for Haaland.

“Aren’t City winning? Isn’t Erling scoring goals? Osimhen is a player to play for Barça, Madrid, or another.”

Osimhen helped Napoli win the Scudetto for the first time over three decades last season, netting 26 goals in 32 league appearances.

He has scored seven goals in 13 league outings for the Partenopei this season.
