Osimhen: I am at one of the biggest clubs in Europe, one of the best leagues in Europe’

Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen has told Omasports he has no reason to leave Serie A side, Napoli despite being linked with a move away either in January or in the summer.

‘Not even 100 per cent, 1,001. I set the standard for myself. This is the life I want to live. When things were not going so well for me, I kept on believing, kept on

praying, kept on working hard, I did other jobs before coming back to my love, football.

‘To get to where I am today, there were a lot of obstacles, a lot of hate, backstabbing, my success came with love, pain, tears, failures, things like that.

‘Some people said ‘we give him two seasons, two clubs rejected him in Belgium, he cannot do that’ and compare me with past players. I saw those things, I’m human.

Footballers are human also.

‘So either I take it the way they say it or I prove them absolutely wrong. I am in one of the biggest clubs in Europe, one of the best leagues in Europe, I was

nominated for youth player of the year, I won so many personal awards for myself, which felt like a huge milestone for me. I’ve got through a lot in life-threatening

injuries, I came back and smashed it.

‘Every day I wake up and say thank you God for everything. I am at 100, they are at zero, because I actually won in life. I am so grateful to God, but I don’t think

he’s done with me yet.’

Osimhen has scored nine times and bagged three assists in 11 Serie A appearances so far this term. Overall, he has netted 33 times, provided 11 assists in 62 games in the Italian top flight across two seasons.

He has scored 38 times and provided 12 assists in 76 games across all competitions for Napoli in two seasons.
