Not Chelsea! Joe Cole picks the perfect EPL club for Victor Osimhen
Former Chelsea and England midfielder, Joe Cole, has said that Arsenal would be the perfect club for Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen, who is currently on loan at Turkish club Galatasaray, has been in great form this season. The 26-year-old has scored 29 goals and made 5 assists in 33 matches for the Turkish giants.
Last summer, Arsenal showed interest in signing Osimhen, but his €130 million release clause made the deal too expensive. Instead, he joined Galatasaray on loan.
“Osimhen is the one for Arsenal” – Joe Cole
Speaking on the Dressing Room Podcast, Joe Cole said Osimhen would fit well into Mikel Arteta’s team at Arsenal.
“Osimhen, I know he’s had this little strange one where he’s gone to Turkey, and he’s banging in goals, but he looks perfect for Arsenal for me,” Cole said.
He added that another striker, Alexander Isak of Newcastle, is unlikely to move: “Isak, yeah, but why would he go to Arsenal now? If Newcastle could spend more, I can’t see Isak being an option. Osimhen is the one for me for Arsenal.”
Premier League Move Expected
Osimhen is currently the top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig with 21 goals. Many believe he is ready to make a big move to the Premier League when the transfer window opens.
With Arsenal looking to add more firepower to their attack, Osimhen could be the missing piece in Arteta’s squad.
