Victor Ikpeba had lauded Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen’s impressive individual season and expects that the Serie A highest goal scorer will attractive Europe’s top clubs in the coming transfer windows.
Despite Napoli President, Aurelio De Laurentiis insisting the club is not obliged to sell, Osimhen’s scintillating form has seen him linked with Chelsea and Manchester United.
A £100million transfer fee has been slapped on the Nigerian and Ikpeba believes that it could turn off club.
“I don’t really know if a Premier League club or even Real Madrid will want to spend £100million for an African player, because Victor Osimhen is worth more than that.
“But the decision is left to him and his team, whether it’s Chelsea, Liverpool or Man United, when the offer comes to him, it boils down to the player and his team to decide where to go.”
Ikpeba also warned that Chelsea can be a toxic environment for him right now and he should focus on his football and finishing the campaign with Napoli.
“Let’s also not forget that Romelu Lukaku is on loan and Chelsea is currently a toxic environment. For me he should just focus on the now and forget about where he wants to go to next season because he is really doing well at Napoli and the season is still far.”
