Jose Peseiro, the head coach of the Super Eagles, has stated that he is unsure about Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen winning the Ballon d’Or.
Peseiro stated this during a press conference on Saturday while commenting on Osimhen’s current form.
Speaking about Osimhen’s future, the Portuguese football manager suggested that if he decides to leave Napoli, he can play in the Spanish La Liga or the English Premier League.
Sportitalia quoted Peseiro as saying Osimhen is good enough to play for Real Madrid and other top Premier League clubs.
Osimhen, 24, has been linked with a move away from Napoli at the end of the season.
Due to his current form, the Nigerian international has piqued the interest of top European clubs such as Chelsea, PSG, Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Manchester United.
He said:
I am sure Victor [Osimhen] will go to play for clubs like Real Madrid, he can reach those levels.
He can play for any top club in the world, whether it’s in the Premier League or elsewhere.
I don’t know if he’ll win the Ballon d’Or, but I will say this: he will certainly win the top scorer many times. Because he has an impressive scoring ability.
And not only that, the qualities that impress me about him are more and more.
