Why PSG is perfect for Osimhen — Former Nigerian star explains

Former Super Eagles defender Godwin Okpara has spoken in favour of Victor Osimhen moving to Paris Saint-Germain, suggesting that the European champions would provide a perfect platform for the coveted striker.

Speaking to Footy Africa, the 53-year-old, who himself represented PSG, stated that the 27-year-old former CAF POTY would fit into the Parisiens' squad like a glove. 

"It will only make them more formidable. For Osimhen, joining PSG means returning to a league he already knows well, so adaptation won’t be an issue,"* Okpara stated. 

Highlighting the PSG's relentless ambition after they recently secured consecutive Champions League titles, he added, "It's a fantastic club for him – one that’s hungry for every trophy. They are a winning machine.”

“Next year, they’ll be aiming for another Champions League triumph. So why not? PSG could be the perfect platform. For Osimhen, this move would be excellent – both for him and for Nigeria as a whole."

Okpara's comments come amid an ongoing widespread transfer interest surrounding Osimhen, though successfully extracting him from Turkey remains an incredibly difficult operation. 

Galatasaray currently maintain that they have no desire to sell their prized asset after he recently fired them to consecutive league titles, and Osimhen himself is unwilling to leave Istanbul unless a truly astronomical offer is presented.
