Napoli ace Osimhen cools Chelsea, Arsenal talk: Prem can wait

Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen has insisted he is happy with life at Napoli.

The center forward is being linked with a move to a top Premier League club in the coming months.

Osimhen has been a long-term target for the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United, while Arsenal are also in the race for his signature.

"I am happy with the president. I have an excellent relationship with him, I am sincere. I have a really good relationship with him, he has always been close to me since I arrived at Napoli in 2020 and I also have an excellent relationship with his family," he stated during AFCON duty with his country.

"For me it is important to have a good relationship with the owner of the team. There have never been any problems between us, what happened has nothing to do with my relationship with him or his family.

"The president told me he always supported, even off the pitch, and I gave my all to win the scudetto for them too. It's always important to have this type of relationship with the owner of the club.

"Of course I would like to play there [in the Premier League] one day, for now I have other plans for my career. But when the time comes you will know everything."
