Retired French international Thierry Henry has cautioned Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen against joining his former club, Arsenal.
Osimhen, currently a sought-after talent globally, faces heightened speculation about his future as Napoli, his current club, has agreed to sell him this summer.
His outstanding performance last season, where he scored 26 goals and provided five assists in 32 league games for Napoli, earned him accolades including the best striker in the league and the CAF player of the year awards and also finished eighth in the 2023 Ballon d’Or ranking.
This performance helped Napoli to win the Scudetto and also earned him the best striker in the league award alongside the league’s highest goalscorer award.
Despite Osimhen’s impressive achievements, Henry advises him against a move to Arsenal, one of the clubs reportedly interested in acquiring him during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Henry who stated this after Osimhen scored against FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first-leg clash with Napoli which ended in a 1-1 draw, noted that he is looking forward to seeing what Osimhen can do in the Premier League.
“I’d like to see him now, what he can do in the Premier League or wherever he’s going or Paris Saint-Germain. Not Arsenal, I won’t go there”, Theirry Henry said on the UEFA Champions League show with CBS Sports Golazo.
“I want to see him take the next step and be more consistent with his output, but to be able to win the title with Napoli the way he did will stay in history forever, so all the best to him in his career.”
