Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen will be joining the English Premier League this summer.

Osimhen is set to leave Napoli at the end of the season, with several top English clubs expressing interest in acquiring his services.

The Nigeria international has been linked with Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and now Liverpool, according to recent reports.

Speaking recently on the potential destination for the reigning African Player of the Year, Di Marzio disclosed that Osimhen prefers a move to London.

He added that the 25-year-old occasionally visits the English capital to spend time with friends during his off days, indicating a possible move to either Arsenal or Chelsea in the summer.

“It’s not that the possibility of playing in France excites Osimhen, who has already played there with Lille. Playing with PSG is different because you can play matches like the Champions League semi-final that the Parisian club played against Borussia Dortmund. Arsenal and Chelsea are the two teams that could sign Osimhen, and as long as this possibility is available, he will wait,” he told Sky Sports Italia, as per Calcio Napoli.

“Napoli’s new sporting director, Manna, is talking to Chelsea to assess whether there is room to close and include Lukaku in the possible Osimhen deal. I’m not so sure Osimhen will eventually play in France with PSG. He often goes to England when he has a day off and enjoys being there with his friends,” Di Marzio added.
