Napoli’s forward, Osimhen, is anticipated to depart from Serie A champions Napoli this upcoming summer.
His standout performance, including a crucial goal in Napoli’s recent 1-1 draw against Barcelona, has captured the attention of football legend Thierry Henry.
Henry, speaking on the CBS Sports Champions League program, advised the Nigerian talent to consider a move to England at the conclusion of the season.
Reflecting on Osimhen’s capabilities showcased at the AFCON, Henry highlighted his ability to lead the line, make intelligent runs into the channels, hold the ball effectively, and outmaneuver defenders. The goal against Barcelona, in Henry’s view, was a much-needed boost for Osimhen.
Henry expressed his curiosity about Osimhen’s potential in the Premier League or with Paris Saint-Germain, emphasizing the forward’s previous achievements, including winning the African Player of the Year award and contributing to Napoli’s successes.
Regardless of his future destination, Henry expressed a desire to witness Osimhen’s consistent excellence, drawing parallels to the enduring legacy of Napoli’s iconic figure, Diego Maradona during his time so far in Naples.
