Victor Osimhen confirms when he will announce his transfer decision

The Nigeria international has confirmed he has decided on his future amid regular reports linking him with a move to the Premier League.

Victor Osimhen has revealed he will announce the decision he has made over his future after this season.

The 25-year-old is one of the most in-demand strikers after an impressive three-and-a-half-seasons at Napoli. He recently signed a new contract with the Italian team until June 2026. However, this has not cooled interest from the Premier League, with multiple clubs reportedly eyeing him up.

Napoli also reportedly turned down an offer of around €200 million for Osimhen in the summer from an unnamed Saudi Arabian club.

“The rumor is going around about me linked with the Premier League,” Osimhen said in an interview with CBS Sports.

“When you’re one of the hottest strikers on the globe, you expect this type of thing, and of course, the Premier League is one of the biggest and best leagues in the whole world.

“I’m with Napoli, I signed a new contract. I’m enjoying my time there. I think I’ve already made up my mind, I already know what I want to do in my career.

“Since I’ve started, I’ve been the one making my own decisions and everything is working out well for me. I already know the next step I want to take, so for now I just want to finish the season strong.

“I will [then] go relax somewhere with my daughter, think about my life, and then finally come out with a decision that I’ve already made.”

Osimhen has managed 67 goals and 17 assists in 119 games for Napoli since joining the club from French side Lille for €75 million in September 2020.

He is currently preparing to face Cameroon in the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 stage on Saturday for Nigeria.

"I already know the next step I want to take."
