Portuguese defender Jose Fonte can’t believe no Premier League club will splash the cash on Victor Osimhen, with his old team-mate confident he can play in England’s top flight.
The Nigerian striker has been link with a move to several clubs, particularly in England, but has yet to make a move due to his £113million release clause, leading to him eventually joining Galatasaray on loan.
Fonte, who play alongside Osimhen at ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี Lille in France, admitt he was surprise that no club in England had signed him, and praised his ability to make it in the Premier League.
“Chelsea need a striker like Victor Osimhen,” Fonte told Ufabet Sport. “Look at Chelsea and the legends they have in their attack. As a striker, he could be another Didier Drogba.”
“They have different styles of play and Drogba is a legend, but he’s fast, powerful and technical. He wins one-on-one duels and has a powerful header.”
“I saw Victor Osimhen go to Galatasaray and I thought it was stupid that no Premier League club would sign him – if Osimhen plays in the Premier League I think he will attack defenders with his aggression, pace, intelligence and power.”
“I played against him in the Champions League and I’m sure he didn’t take me seriously as a friend of almost 40 years, but it was still an absolute nightmare. He’s a hard worker and deserves the success he’s had.”
“I can’t wait to see him play in the Premier League because he’s one of those players you want to see playing in the Premier League every week and we’ll see where he belongs.”
