According to Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro, Victor Osimhen possesses the qualities needed to thrive in top-tier European clubs. Although Osimhen recently extended his contract with Napoli, there are expectations of a potential departure this summer. The 25-year-old is being considered as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe at Paris Saint-Germain, with interest also coming from Chelsea and Arsenal.
Peseiro commended Osimhen’s versatility and skill set, emphasizing his capability to excel in any team worldwide. The coach praised Osimhen’s awareness in the penalty area, aerial prowess, and offensive abilities.
In an interview with the Daily Post, Peseiro highlighted that successful teams like Manchester City pursue forwards with diverse skill sets, citing Erling Haaland as an example. He acknowledged that while Osimhen may not possess the same playmaking abilities as some players, his proficiency in various aspects of the game makes him an attractive prospect.
