Osimhen Eyes Premier League or Juventus Move Amid Galatasaray Success
Victor Osimhen, the Nigerian goal machine currently on loan at Galatasaray, has made his intentions clear ahead of what promises to be a dramatic summer transfer window. According to ESPN, the 26-year-old striker is now eyeing a high-profile move to the Premier League or Juventus, despite having previously hinted at a permanent stay in Turkey.
Osimhen’s impressive loan spell at Galatasaray — where he has netted 28 goals in all competitions — has not gone unnoticed. With Galatasaray edging closer to clinching the Turkish league title, the Nigerian international has become a fan favorite and a vital figure in their attack. However, interest from Premier League giants — Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United — appears to be tempting the prolific forward.
Reports also suggest Osimhen was forced out of Napoli by incoming manager Antonio Conte, paving the way for his temporary switch to Turkey. But with the loan spell set to end this summer, the striker is now assessing his next big move.
💬 Opinion: Osimhen’s Next Chapter Should Be in England — Here’s Why
Victor Osimhen’s rise has been nothing short of phenomenal. From Ligue 1 to Serie A, and now the Süper Lig, the Nigerian has proven he can adapt, dominate, and deliver. But for a player in his prime, the Premier League feels like the ultimate stage to showcase his power, pace, and poise.
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand recently called on his former club to sign Osimhen — a nod to United’s urgent need for a clinical striker. On the other hand, Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel has also joined the chorus, urging the Blues to swoop in for his compatriot. Arsenal, too, could benefit from Osimhen’s explosiveness up front, especially as they seek consistency in their attacking options.
While Galatasaray fans would love to keep him, and Juventus might offer Champions League stability, the Premier League’s spotlight and competitiveness would push Osimhen into the global football conversation — not just as a scorer, but as a superstar.
With Osimhen’s ambition pointing toward England or Turin, and top clubs lining up with open arms, this summer could mark a career-defining move — and possibly the beginning of his biggest challenge yet.
Who needs him more — Arsenal, Chelsea, or United?
And more importantly, can they afford to wait if Galatasaray make a permanent move?
