According to Osimhen, “A lot of fake news about me agreeing a deal with Napoli is sickening for real. I’m surprised at the journalists, that say they are professionals.
“I find it amazing. Please disregard any fake news, when it’s time for my transfer, you’ll hear from me directly.”
Several news outlets ran on the story of Osimhen’s move to the Italian club. The former Royal Sporting Charleroi attacker was voted Lille Player of the Year some days ago, after scoring 13 league goals in the league before its cancellation over COVID-19.
