I’m not interested in Man Utd, Arsenal – Victor Osimhen

Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen has stressed that he is not interested in rumours of a possible transfer to the Premier League this summer.

However, he has always stressed his desire to stay at Napoli and made it clear during a recent interview with Corriere dello Sport that nothing has changed from his perspective.

 “I’m at Napoli and I have great respect for my club. These are just market rumours, I’m happy here and I’ve never had such close relations with everyone as I do right now.

 “I spoke with President De Laurentiis, he is the one who decides, and he reassured me by explaining the club’s plans.

 “I’m happy with what he told me and the signings are quality, words have been followed by deeds. I’m very happy to play with Napoli and in the future we’ll see.”

He continued: “I have experienced very difficult moments, even private ones, but Napoli has always been close to me and that is one of the reasons I am here. I’m happy; I’m in a beautiful city and a wonderful club.

 “Naples is one of the best places to be a footballer: Diego Maradona played here, the best ever, I consider it a privilege and a great honour to play in the stadium named after him.”

However, Osimhen did confess that English football holds a special place in his heart as it has played host to a number of his favourite players.

“Didier Drogba is my idol, my inspiration, he has always motivated me to become who I am and one day I hope to get close to him,” he added.

 “Today I am also inspired by Harry Kane, but there are many strikers around that I like and can learn something from.”
