Napoli star Osimhen: I’ll reveal decision on future in summer

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen says he has already made a decision about his future but will only announce his plans after the season amid reported interest from several Premier League teams.

The Nigeria international, who has started each of his country's three matches in the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, signed a contract extension with the reigning Serie A champions until June 2026 in December.

“The rumor is going around that I am linked to the Premier League,” said Osimhen, 25. told CBS Sports.

“When you're one of the hottest strikers in the world you expect those kinds of things, and of course the Premier League is one of the biggest and best leagues in the whole world.

“I'm with Napoli, I signed a new contract. I'm enjoying my stay there. I think I've already made my decision, I already know what I want to do in my career.

“Since I started, it's been me making my own decisions and everything is going well for me. I already know the next step I want to take, so for now I just want to finish the season strong.

“I will [then] go relax somewhere with my daughter, think about my life and finally make a decision that I have already made.”

Naples reportedly rejected an offer of more than 200 million euros ($218 million) for Osimhen from a Saudi Arabian team last summer.

The reigning African Player of the Year joined Napoli from Lille in 2020 and scored 26 league goals in the 2022-23 campaign to help his side win the Serie A title.
