“Osimhen Will Do Well In Premier League” – Adebayor

Former Arsenal and Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor believes African Footballer of the Year Victor Osimhen possesses all the attributes required to “thrive” in the Premier League, according to a BBC report.

Nigeria front man Osimhen, who won the prestigious continental award in December, has become one of the hottest properties on the transfer market.
This is ostensibly on the strength of his stellar 2022-23 season, when his 26 goals saw him finish as top scorer in Italy’s Serie A and helped end a 33-year league title drought for Napoli.

Last month the Nigeria international extended his contract with the club until 2026, but that is unlikely to ward off suitors such as Arsenal and Chelsea who retain significant interest in his services.

“He has the right attitude, mentality and determination to excel there (in England),” former Togo captain Adebayor told BBC Sport Africa.
“I’m praying for him to move to the Premier League and show what he’s capable of.”
