(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Serie A top goal-scorer Victor Osimhen said on Monday he dreams of playing in the English Premier League.
The Nigeria striker, who was in Rome to collect the award for foreign athlete of the year in Italy from the foreign press association, said he wanted to deliver a league title to Napoli fans but was also looking further ahead.
“A lot of people worldwide consider the Premier league as the best and strongest league,” said the 24-year-old.
“I’m in one of the best leagues in the world, which is the Italian Serie A.
“Of course, I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League someday, but it’s a process and I just want to keep on this momentum.”

“When you talk about Napoli, the first player who comes to the mind of the fans is Maradona. Even if we can win the Scudetto, we can not compare with what Maradona has done for this club, he’s more than a legend,” Osimhen said.
“We’ve been doing quite well this season, but I don’t consider myself as an icon until we achieve the objective.”
Asked about racism in stadiums, he called it a “bad disease.”
“I’ve been racially abused twice and it’s a bad feeling.”
