Brentford midfielder, Frank Onyeka underlined the strong mentality of Napoli star Victor Osimhen and spoke about the idea of seeing him in the Premier League this summer.
The 25-year-old Nigerian striker is widely expected to leave the Partenopei in a high profile transfer this summer, having signed a new contract with the defending Serie A champions at the tailed of last year that contains a €120-130m release clause.
Osimhen has continued to shine despite Napoli’s chaos this term, netting 11 goals and providing three assists across 16 league matches, and he has attracted the attention of a number of Premier League clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.
Speaking to Sky Sports UK, Onyeka was asked what it was like to play with Osimhen in the Nigeria squad at the Africa Cup of Nations and if he could join him at Brentford.
“No, no, no! He’s too expensive! He’s a really good guy but he’s someone that wants to win. He doesn’t like to lose, even in training. He always wants to push players around him, try to encourage them. He’s a fighter. He’s always there to help the team, fight for the team. Even when the team is down he’ll be the first man to push the team. He never gives up.”
