Okocha Advises Osimhen on Strategic Summer Move

As the summer transfer window approaches, Nigerian football legend Austin ‘Jay-Jay’ Okocha has offered guidance to compatriot Victor Osimhen regarding his next career move. Okocha, renowned for his illustrious career across Europe, emphasized the importance of selecting a club that aligns with Osimhen’s playing style and career aspirations.

In a recent interview, Okocha highlighted the English Premier League (EPL) as a suitable destination for Osimhen, citing its competitive nature and potential for player development. He specifically mentioned Manchester United and Arsenal as ideal fits, noting their need for a prolific striker and the opportunities they present for Osimhen to showcase his talents on a grand stage.

Okocha also addressed the financial aspects of such a move, reflecting on his own career decisions. He remarked, “I learnt early enough that trophies do not pay school fees. Money pays school fees… So it is the money I was after because I need to better my community.” This perspective underscores the balance between professional success and financial security in a player’s career choices.

Osimhen’s current situation at Napoli has been a topic of discussion, especially following controversies such as the club’s TikTok incident. Okocha advised that while such issues are concerning, they should not be the sole factor in deciding to leave. He encouraged Osimhen to weigh all options carefully, considering both his professional growth and personal well-being.

With interest from top European clubs and a proven track record in Serie A, Osimhen’s next move will be pivotal. Okocha’s insights serve as valuable advice for the young striker as he navigates this critical juncture in his career.
