Osimhen Is Still A Lille Player – Napoli Boss Gattuso
Posted by E.L.E.X on July 03 2020 under Sports
Napoli manager Gennaro Gattuso has distanced himself from the speculation that Victor Osimhen is close to joining the club, simply saying he remains a Lille player.
The 21-year-old Nigerian has been linked with a move to the San Paolo after a breakout season in France where he scored 18 competitive goals in 38 appearances.
Osimhen swept home a couple of accolades for his impressive feats with Lille, which included being crowned the club’s player of the season and the Marc-Vivien Foe award as the best African player in Ligue 1.
Osimhen is the second Nigerian to win the Foe award after former goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama who played for Lille between 2011 and 2018.
“He [Osimhen] is currently a Lille player. I cannot comment,” Gattuso told the press after Napoli’s 2-0 defeat by high-flying Atalanta.
Gattuso insisted that the Partenopei will spend a little in the transfer market, but it must be a player with quantity.
“We will do little on the market, 70-80% [of players] will remain and whoever arrives will have to give us quality and quantity,” the former Sion manager stated.
“For this, we must raise the bar because many will remain and we must improve.”
