Italian football expert Gaetano Fedele has disclosed that Napoli’s prolific striker, Victor Osimhen, is poised for a summer transfer to the English Premier League, as reported by Soccernet.ng.

The Nigerian attacker’s impressive performances for Napoli, notably contributing to their Serie A triumph after 33 years, have attracted the interest of several top clubs.

Despite recently signing a new contract, Osimhen is expected to depart Napoli at the end of the season, with Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain among the clubs vying for his signature.

In an interview with Tele A via Area Napoli, Fedele revealed that Osimhen has already secured an agreement with his new club, as stipulated in his contract renewal with Napoli.

“There is a clause in the renewal contract signed by Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian has already agreed with another club and will leave in the summer,” Fedele affirmed.

While Fedele did not disclose the identity of Osimhen’s next destination, he hinted at a move to England during the discussion.

“I am convinced that the Nigerian goes to England. Trust me, he knows where to go,” Fedele added.

Osimhen joined Napoli from LOSC Lille in 2020, and his imminent departure has generated significant interest among Premier League giants eager to secure his services for the upcoming season.
