Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has attracted interest from top clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United. When asked about his preferred destination on the Rest is Football Podcast, Gary Lineker expressed his inclination towards Arsenal:
“I think I’d look at it and I’d go, at the moment, Arsenal. We’re talking about everyone offering the same thing, that’s what you want, blah blah blah in your contract. I mean, to be honest, they earn so much now that you can just choose where you want to go.”
Lineker elaborated on his choice:
“I would say, Arsenal is probably a center-forward away from winning things. Chelsea is a center-forward away from becoming competitive again. Manchester United are a center-forward away from improving, but they’ve still got a long way to go. If I were him, you want to go somewhere where you think you’re going to win things.”
Osimhen’s impressive record of 67 goals and 17 assists in 119 appearances makes him a sought-after talent. His potential move to any of these clubs would reshape their attacking dynamics.
At Arsenal, Osimhen could provide the goal-scoring prowess lacking with Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah. Chelsea would benefit from his presence as a reliable number nine, potentially replacing Nicolas Jackson.
Meanwhile, at Manchester United, Osimhen would face competition from Rasmus Hojlund but could offer a vital goal threat alongside Marcus Rashford. Ultimately, Osimhen’s decision will depend on where he believes he can make the biggest impact and contribute to a team’s success.
