A highly-rated, tough-tackling defensive midfielder in his pomp, Oliseh represented some of Europe’s biggest teams, including Ajax, Borussia Dortmund, and Juventus, and has a wealth of experience after a successful career.

Oliseh wants to see his compatriot, Osmhen, achieve similar career success and has advised him on the next step for the Napoli striker to take to move his career to the next level.

Oliseh revealed on Twitter that he believed Osimhen needed to make a move to the highly publicised English Premier League after conquering Italy with Napoli.

The former Super Eagles coach congratulated Osimhen on the success of his 2022/23 season, and went a step further to suggest a move to the Premier League that would earn him “worldwide coronation.”

Oliseh’s tweet read, Well said Sis, I was tense when they trailed 0-1. By leading Napoli to this title, Osimhen,in my opinion, is now in full contention for Worldwide coronation! Next step? The Premier league I feel. Congrats Bro!

Osimhen has been linked to Chelsea and Manchester City, but both the player and Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis have dismissed any potential summer transfer move.
