Journalist predicts ‘DRAMATIC’ transfer deadline day for Victor Osimhen

As the transfer window nears its close, the future of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen remains one of the most compelling unresolved stories.

The Napoli forward, who was widely expected to leave Serie A this summer, continues to be at the center of intense speculation, with top European clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and PSG all vying for his signature.

Despite interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, Osimhen has shown little desire to move to the Middle East at this point in his career, further fueling rumors of a potential move to one of Europe’s elite teams.

Respected journalist David Ornstein, speaking on the Sky Sports Back Pages Podcast, predicted that Osimhen’s situation could lead to a dramatic transfer on deadline day.

“This is one we understand is going to go down to transfer deadline day, and it will be one of those dramatic stories about where Victor Osimhen ends up,” Ornstein noted. He highlighted Chelsea’s continued interest in the striker, while also mentioning PSG’s previous strong pursuit of the Nigerian, making them another serious contender.

Osimhen’s potential move is being compared to other high-profile transfers that have defined previous deadline days, such as Gareth Bale’s transfer to Real Madrid and Enzo Fernandez’s move to Chelsea.

With the transfer window set to close at 11:00 PM on Friday, the football world is eagerly watching to see where this Nigerianstriker will land, potentially marking the most significant transfer of the summer.

Arsenal, long linked with Osimhen, could also emerge as serious contenders in the final hours, adding to the suspense surrounding his future.
