2 months ago

Brendford midfielder, Frank Onyeka is desperate to see his international teammate Victor Osimhen join him in the Premier League this summer.

Osimhen has been linked with a move to Premier League giants, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal in recent months.

The 25-year-old is expected to leave reigning Serie A champions Napoli at the end of the season.

The Nigerian signed a new contract which reportedly has a release clause of around €120m-€130m last December.

Speaking to Sky Sports UK, Onyeka was asked what it was like to play with Osimhen in the Nigeria squad at the Africa Cup of Nations and if he could join him at Brentford.

“No, no, no! He’s too expensive! He’s a really good guy but he’s someone that wants to win. He doesn’t like to lose, even in training. He always wants to push players around him, try to encourage them. He’s a fighter.

“He’s always there to help the team, fight for the team. Even when the team is down he’ll be the first man to push the team. He never gives up. For me he was one of the best players in the tournament but people don’t really see what he does.

“Hopefully he comes to the Premier League.”

Osimhen has scored 11 goals and provided three assists in 16 league appearances for Napoli this season.
