Adebayor advises Osimhen
Despite committing to Napoli until 2026, the buzz around Osimhen's potential move to England is growing, fueled by his high market value and proven track record as a top-tier striker.
Emmanuel Adebayor, a former Premier League star with stints at Arsenal, Tottenham, and Manchester City, has openly expressed his desire to see Osimhen ply his trade in England.
)
Speaking to BBC Sport via Goal.com, Adebayor said, “He has the right attitude, mentality and determination to excel there (in England). I'm praying for him to move to the Premier League and show what he's capable of.
The Premier League is the toughest and best (league) in the world. Osimhen has shown and done it already in Italy, I think it is the right time for him to move to England and replace his idol Drogba and do beautiful things. He has all it takes to make a name and write a great chapter in England like Drogba.”

Following Drogba's Footsteps
Osimhen, much like his idol Didier Drogba, possesses the qualities that could see him thrive in the high-intensity atmosphere of the Premier League.
Drogba's legacy at Chelsea is well-documented, with his remarkable achievements including Premier League titles, FA Cup victories, and a Champions League triumph.

His journey serves as a beacon for players like Osimhen, who aspire to reach similar heights.
