Debrecen's Nigeria international striker Tunde Adeniji has explained why the much-coveted Lille danger man should snub a move to the Premier League in favour of switching to Italian Serie A outfit Napoli. 

Osimhen's manager Osita Okolo confirmed to this website that Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool and Chelsea are the English clubs exploring ways to sign the Lille explosive striker, but stressed that no agreement has been reached with any club for now. 

Adeniji believes the 2015 U17 World Cup winner might be starved of game-time if he joins any of his Premier league suitors.

" I have been following Osimhen's performance in Europe, he's doing well," Adeniji informed Allnigeria Soccer 

" I would like him to play for Napoli if he leaves Lille because he will have more playing time, he has all the qualities to excel and create more records. 

" They don't have big names in their attack in Napoli and he will play very well in the team and put excitement on the faces of the fans in Naples, aclamatizing should not be a big deal for him in Italy.  

" Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, Barcelona and Real Madrid he's being linked with good strikers already who are superstars and doing well in European football, and Osimhen is too young for the pressure now, so I prefer he joins Napoli."

Adeniji, himself, is having a banner season in Europe, with his brace against Puskás AFC on Saturday taking his tally to 12 goals in all competitions. 

And on the back of his goalscoring form, he is hoping he gets recalled to the national team by manager Gernot Rohr. 

" God's time is the best, I have had no contact with any of the coaches yet but I believe my time will come very soon.

" I am concentrating on doing what I know how to do best and put God first," the Hungarian based player added.

Tunde Adeniji joined Bulgarian side Levski Sofia from Nigeria Professional Football League oufit, Sunshine Stars Football Club of Akure when he signed a three-year contract with the club.

He also emerged the second top scorer in the Nigerian top flight with 16 goals, one behind Gbolahan Salami who won the top scorers’ honour before travelling out of Nigeria. He was also part of the Nigeria squad to African Nations Championship in Rwanda.

He has also played for Al-Nasr in Kuwait and Atyrau FC in Kazakhstan League.
