Former Super Eagles forward Daniel Amokachi has advised Victor Osimhen to take the next brave step in his career by transferring to the English Premier League, calling the Nigerian striker as a “warrior” capable of thriving in any league in the globe.
Amokachi, who played in Turkey and England, most notably for Besiktas and Everton, voiced confidence in Osimhen’s capacity to adapt and dominate in the Premier League.
Osimhen, currently on a season-long loan at Turkish giants Galatasaray, has been in blistering form this season.
The 26-year-old has racked up an impressive tally of 33 goals and 8 assists in 38 appearances across all competitions, further cementing his reputation as one of Europe’s most lethal forwards.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, with top clubs including Manchester United and Chelsea reportedly monitoring his situation ahead of the summer transfer window.
When asked about Osimhen’s probable move, Amokachi praised the striker’s mental and physical qualities, stating he exemplifies the skills needed to prosper in the intensity and pace of English football.
“It would be nice to see him play in the best league in the world—the EPL—because any league that Osimhen plays in, he would flourish, no doubt about that,” Amokachi said.
“He has the quality in him; he has the warrior in him. He is a player that any club in the world would love to have.”
