Thursday’s stunning performance and well-taken goal came few hours after Osimhen declared that he is not in a hurry to sign for a big club in Europe, as he does not fancy sealing a huge deal only to end up warming the bench.
In what could be a tacit hint that he could opt to stay the long-term at Napoli, where he has hit a rich vein on goals scoring form this season, the youngster stressed that he is not thinking of any megabucks move for now.
Although Osimhen went on to admit that he would love to play in the English Premier League before hanging his boots, the Super Eagles’ youngster hinted that it would only happen in the distant future.
The Chile 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup top scorer admitted he has strong ambitions for his career, as he hopes to excel for both club and country at the highest level of the round leather game, but concluded that he is happy for now in Naples.
That he showed once again with his dashing run that opened him up for another stunning goal on the counter for Neapolitans on Thursday night.

Having helped Napoli stay top of the Serie A table for six weeks, with a 100% record after eight matches, the former Ultimate Strikers of Lagos, VfL Wolfsburg of Germany, Sporting Charleroi of Belgium and Lille Metropole of France hitman posited that he is enjoying his stay in The Land of The Azzurri.
Osimhen, who now has nine goals across all competitions this season and notched his third consecutive appearance in the Europa League, told The Independent: “My priority is to play a lot of games.
“Signing for a big club and being on the bench is not exciting for me. Of course, one day I’d like to play for a big club in England.”
