Victor Osimhen has interest from as much as four Premier League clubs right now. This makes the player’s move to England very likely next season.
Osimhen was gaining interest from many English clubs in summer 2024. Chelsea were leading the race and were trying really hard to land him. Infact, they were involved in talks until the very last moment of the deadline day. But, the deal still ended in failure.
Napoli had already signed Romelu Lukaku which forced them to part ways with Osimhen. As a result, the Nigerian striker joined Galatasaray on loan. He is having a very good season with them right now. He has scored 17 goals and picked 5 assists in 23 games.
Galatasary are happy with Osimhen and are keen to sign him permanently. But, the 26 year old has no intention to stay with them as he prefers a bigger club. Hence, Napoli will allow him to leave this summer if their demands are met.
Victor Osimhen looked upon by 4 English giants
As per TBR Football, the Nigerian striker has interest from 4 English clubs namely – Arsenal, Man United, Aston Villa and Newcastle United. This suggests that Premier League will be very likely the striker’s next destination.

Firstly, Gunners are the club having an urgent need of striker. Osimhen can make them complete in th final third to compete for major titles. But, the Gunners also have Benjamin Sesko and Alexander Isak on their radar.
As for Man United, they are said to part ways with Joshua Zirkzee whereas Rasmus Hojlund also has his future unsecure at the club. This will require them to sign a clinical striker and Osimhen fits in the criteria very well.
Aston Villa have recently lost Jhon Duran who joined Al Nassr. Ollie Watkins is 29 years old and hence Unai Emery will want a new striker as well. Lastly, Newcastle already have Isak but the player is keen to move away this summer. Osimhen can be a quality replacement for him.
