Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro has advised Napoli star forward, Victor Osimhen, to remain with the current Serie A champions despite interest from top clubs last summer.
Peseiro expressed his delight over Osimhen’s decision to remain at Napoli this summer.
Osimhen scored 25 Serie A goals last season which helped the Parthenopeans win their first Scudetto after a 33-year wait.
Osimhen’s impressive performances haven’t gone unnoticed as several top clubs in Europe and recently, the Saudi Pro League have tried to lure him away from the Italian club.
Osimhen opted to stay loyal to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, despite receiving tempting offers from these clubs.
Peseiro emphasised that Osimhen’s decision to remain with Napoli is a positive development for Nigeria.
“But Victor is very happy in Napoli. For his growth path, staying in Europe and showing off in the Champions League remains the best way. He is young and has time to prove his talent,”
“Then I understand that in the face of certain offers one can waver: two seasons in Arabia are worth more than ten in Europe, but money is not everything. Victor has improved a lot in Italy.” Peseiro said.
