Ex-Super Eagles head coach, Sunday Oliseh, has advised Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen amid speculation linking him with a surprise return to Turkish champions, Galatasaray.
Oliseh took to X (formerly Twitter), to caution that the 26-year-old striker is at a pivotal stage in his career and must carefully consider his next move to avoid future regret. He said in a post with his X handle, “Victor Osimhen is at a very delicate crossroad. He needs to find his way to the Premier League in a hurry or he risks so much regret! Man. United and Arsenal need this player if only…..”
Oliseh’s comments come amid reports that Osimhen is preparing for a permanent move to Galatasaray, where he previously played during a loan spell. Osimhen scored 26 goals to lead the club to the Turkish Super Lig title.
However, Oliseh believes a move to England’s top flight would is far suitable for Osimhen’s development and global standing.
Osimhen’s age is reportedly becoming a factor in transfer negotiations, with some Premier League clubs cautious about making a high-value investment. Delaying a move to England any further could reduce his appeal in the competitive Premier League market, insiders suggest.
Despite being contracted to Napoli until 2026, Osimhen’s future hangs in uncertainty. The striker was expected to return for pre-season training, but reports in Italy claim that Napoli’s head coach Antonio Conte has no intention of including him in his plans and could relegate him to the youth team.
