Lille Striker Osimhen Visits Former Club Sporting Charleroi

The striker paid a courtesy visit to his former club Sporting Charleroi during the international break.

Osimhen joined the Belgian club from Wolfsburg on a season-long loan deal prior to the start of 2018-19 season, and he went on to score 20 goals during his loan spell.

His impressive goal return forced The Zebras into activating the buyout clause in his transfer deal but the player didn't stay too long with the team before he made his move to Lille prior to the start of the campaign.

Speaking during his visit to Charleroi, Osimhen praised the club for helping him achieve his dream of becoming a better player. He confessed that his journey to becoming a player of his dream started with Charleroi.

"Since the very first time I came to the club, I could remember vividly I had 12 minutes of action. The way the fans supported me was unbelievable,'' he said in a video uploaded by Sporting Charleroi's Twitter account.

"So, I think for me to repay them back is for me to give my best and score a lot of goals for them and win games. I thing that was the turning point for the relationship between me and the fans


"My dream to become the kind of player that I want to be started here, and this club gave me the platform to showcase my talent.

"It's good to be back with these wonderful fans today and I'm really happy to be here." he concluded.
