Osimhen Drops Transfer Bombshell: “I Am Ready for the Premier League” — Barcelona, Chelsea and Arsenal Circle as Napoli Demand €120m
Victor Osimhen has publicly stated his desire to move to England, putting Europe's biggest clubs on alert.
Victor Osimhen has thrown the transfer window wide open. The Nigerian striker, fresh off a 26‑goal loan season that fired Galatasaray to the Turkish Super Lig title, has given his clearest indication yet that he wants to leave Napoli permanently — and that his preferred destination is the Premier League. Speaking to journalists after the Super Eagles’ training session in Abuja ahead of the friendlies against Poland and Portugal, Osimhen was direct. “I am ready for the Premier League. It is a dream,” he said.
The statement instantly shifts the balance of a transfer saga that has been simmering for months. Osimhen is still technically a Napoli player, and the Italian club’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, is holding firm on a €120 million asking price. That figure, while daunting, has not deterred a pack of Europe’s elite. Barcelona are long‑term admirers and are prepared to sell players to fund the move. Chelsea, searching for a reliable goalscorer, have Osimhen at the top of their list. Manchester City, freshly crowned European champions, are also monitoring the situation, particularly with Erling Haaland’s future uncertain beyond the summer. Arsenal — smarting from their Champions League final defeat — are the latest to register interest, though their financial flexibility may be limited after a heavy summer of spending.
Osimhen’s agent is expected in London next week for exploratory talks with several English clubs. The 27‑year‑old’s form in Turkey — 26 league goals, 8 assists — has erased any doubts about his fitness and consistency, and his performance at the Unity Cup, where he led Nigeria to a fourth consecutive title, has reinforced his status as Africa’s premier forward. Napoli know they hold a golden asset, but Osimhen’s public declaration has made it clear: the player’s heart is set on England. The question now is which club will pay the price.
