I’m going nowhere Napoli still my home, Osimhen tells Tottenham agents

Nigeria striker, Victor Osimhen, has rubbished the hints that he may move from Napoli to English side, Tottenham Hotspur.

The former Golden Eaglets forward said he had no plans to leave Serie A side, Napoli now.

Hotspur should however, look elsewhere for a quality number nine to potentially replace Harry Kane as Osimhen has no intention of leaving Napoli just yet, according to a report by Italian publications Corriere del Mezzogiorno (via Napoli Magazine).

And with Spurs known as long-term admirers of Osimhen, the Premier League side has been linked with a summer move for the Super Eagles star.

The former Lille lad found the back of the net ten times in the Serie A in only his maiden season in Italy, despite months of inaction due to injury and coronavirus-related problems.

With ex-AS Roma tactician Luciano Spalletti hired to replace Gennaro Gattuso as Napoli manager, Osimhen is expected to shine even brighter for the Naples-based club in the 2021/22 season.

Napoli have revealed they are not willing to let the Nigerian striker leave just twelve months after arriving in Italy from French side Lille for a club-record transfer fee.

And Osimhen, who has been training in Nigeria, is focused on returning to Napoli for preseason on July 12 and excelling for the Italian side ahead of the next year’s Africa Cup of Nations in January.

The 22-year-old faces stiff competition from the prolific Paul Onuachu, Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho, Lorient’s Terem Moffi, and Simy Nwankwo, among others, to remain the Super Eagles main striker at the Afcon.
