Despite global interest in Victor Osimhen, Premier League giants like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea are yet to make a solid move. According to football journalist David Ornstein, Saudi side Al-Hilal and Galatasaray are making stronger efforts, but EPL hesitation stems from salary demands and character fit concerns.
- EPL clubs cautious over salary, age, and dressing room fit
- Al-Hilal and Galatasaray pursuing Osimhen more aggressively
- Ornstein: “Admiration doesn’t mean action.”
- Napoli exit likely, but no firm EPL movement yet
- Transfer window dynamics could still change everything
Osimhen’s power, pace, and proven track record should make him irresistible, yet Premier League doors remain ajar. In a market chasing stats, character and cost often tip the scales. The message? In elite football, reputation is only half the game—fit is everything.
For Nigerians, this feels like a familiar story: world-class potential held back by politics, perceptions, and penny-counting.
David Ornstein says Premier League clubs are wary of signing Osimhen due to high costs and dressing room fit. As Galatasaray and Al-Hilal press harder, will England’s top flight miss out?
