Nigerian defender, Calvin Bassey, has described Victor Osimhen as a deadly striker, adding that he is happy that his international teammate did not complete a move to the English Premier League.
Bassey sees Osimhen at the same level as Manchester City goal machine, Erling Haaland.
Before settling for Turkish giants, Galatasaray, Osimhen was heavily linked with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal.
But none of the speculated moves could materialise and Bassey, who plays his football at Fulham, expressed mixed feelings about his international teammate’s move.
“He’s unbelievable. What he does for the country, what he’s done in the Champions League is amazing, a deadly striker,” Bassey said to Stadium Astro.
“I was kind of happy and upset at the same time that he didn’t come to the Premier League.
“It would have been good for him, but I’m happy I don’t have to play against him.”
Bassey confirmed that Osimhen is very much interested in moving to the Premier League.
