Ademola Lookman has chosen not to provide a definitive comment regarding his Nigeria teammate Victor Osimhen’s potential move to the Premier League next season. In a recent interview with talkSPORT, Lookman refrained from disclosing whether Osimhen has expressed interest in playing in England, despite Lookman’s own experiences at Everton, Leicester, Fulham, and Charlton. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis previously stated that the 25-year-old striker is set to leave the club in the summer and could potentially join a top English club such as Arsenal or Chelsea. Lookman, however, did not confirm or deny Osimhen’s inquiry about life in England.
During an appearance on talkSPORT Drive ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations final against hosts Ivory Coast, Lookman was asked about Osimhen’s potential move to the Premier League. He expressed his admiration for playing alongside Osimhen, describing him as a top player and a top person. Lookman stated that their partnership on the field is a highly enjoyable experience and hopes it continues.
Osimhen, who played a crucial role in Napoli’s first Serie A title win in 33 years last season, has a release clause of £112 million. Throughout this campaign, he has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur. If Osimhen were to win the Africa Cup of Nations, it would further enhance his already impressive reputation.
