Barcelona Linked Striker Osimhen Makes Huge Announcement On His Future With Lille

Published: November 10, 2019

Victor Osimhen has made it clear that Lille will decide whether or not to sell him as from the January transfer window amid speculations linking him with a transfer to Barcelona and English Premier League clubs.

The Nigeria international is rumored to be on the wish list of the Spanish champions who are looking to sign a replacement for the aging Luis Suarez.

Signed from Sporting Charleroi in August 2019, Osimhen has met the expectations of Lille, having scored 9 goals in 17 matches across all competitions with two assists to his name, and the striker has refused to rule out a departure from The Dogues.

In quotes carried by foot-sur7 making reference to L'Equipe, Osimhen stated : ''I had confidence in myself and the experiences in Wolsfburg and Charleroi helped me. The most important thing was to play fast.

"I've always been ready to take the stage ... If big clubs look at me, it's great for me. But I am well in Lille. The club will decide if I stay or leave. I will not object.''

The 20-year-old Osimhen has a contract with Lille until the end of the 2023-2024 season.
