Premier League clubs, Chelsea and Manchester United are currently eyeing the Napoli player to their side from Serie A.

Osimhen had also unveiled his interest to play in the English Premier League.

Speaking with the British Broadcasting Corporation, Okocha said playing in the Premier League would be ideal for Osimhen.

“Well I mean he’s done well, he’s having a great season.

“And I think he duly deserves the praise he’s getting, but the ultimate for him is to play in the Premier League which he has made clear as well,” Okocha said.

Osimhen has scored 21 goals in 23 league appearances for Napoli this season.
