A football agent recently claimed that there are two Premier League sides who are unable to sign in-demand Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian star has grown from strength to strength with the Serie A outfit in the last couple of seasons and has generated interest from some of the biggest clubs in the world as a result.
According to football agent Paolo Palermo, only the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool are able to sign the African star. Palermo then went on to mention that salary caps at Arsenal and Spurs will make it difficult for the London clubs to acquire Osimhen’s services.
“I’ve said since he renewed that he was leaving. Extending it for just one year means having already sold him, otherwise they would renew it for four years. They put the card on the player and also on the player’s contract,” Palermo told TV Play, as per Team Talk.
“I think someone has already joined; I think Chelsea. Those who can spend €120-130m are Chelsea, City, United and Liverpool, I don’t think Arsenal. Tottenham could also do it but they have a salary cap of €6-7m, Osimhen already earns €10m.”
