Victor Osimhen makes future admission after turning down £120m offer amid Liverpool links
Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea have all been linked with the Napoli striker.
Victor Osimhen, who has been linked with Liverpool, has dismissed suggestions he has a preferred Premier League club.
Osimhen had a prolific season as Napoli won the Serie A title last season, scoring 31 goals in 36 matches.
This season he has scored six goals in 10 appearances so far.
Reports suggest contract talks with the striker and Napoli have stalled.
He was wanted by Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal during the summer transfer window, but turned down a very important offer.
A swathe of English clubs have been linked with a swoop for Osimhen – including Liverpool.
The Nigeria international recently appeared on former Chelsea midfielder Jon Obi Mikel’s The Obi One Podcast.
And while admitting he owns shirts belonging to the west London outfit and Manchester United, he does not have a preference.
He said: “I don’t have a favourite Premier League club, but I have two shirts – Chelsea and Manchester United.
Many of my friends are Chelsea fans, a few Man United.
Premier League is the most popular league for all African players, it is a big league.
Denying Al-Hilal, he said: “What was said is true.
I have to be honest, I never thought about leaving last summer because Napoli wanted to keep me, but when the offer came from Saudi Arabia, it was so big, it was hard to refuse.
.
I talked with Napoli and decided to stay.
“This is crazy.
The more I said no, the more they increased their financial offer.
It would have changed my life, they never gave up.
But I said, no guys, I’m staying.
Of course.
I had talks in August, it was a huge decision for me to make.
I spoke to Napoli, and we decided together to refuse.
“I didn’t want people to think I wanted to leave.
It was a positive decision for my career.
As much as you play football for money, there is also so much more to.
