Former Nigeria international Peter Osaze Odemwingie has publicly shared his thoughts on where Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen should take his talents next, suggesting three European giants over Manchester United. The ex-West Bromwich Albion star believes Osimhen would flourish at Arsenal, Barcelona, or Real Madrid if they make a move for the 27-year-old this summer.
Speaking in a recent interview with Brila FM, Odemwingie explained his reasoning, pointing to the intense scrutiny strikers face at Old Trafford. He referenced the experiences of Romelu Lukaku and others who became scapegoats at the club, saying, “The wahala there is too much.” Odemwingie praised Osimhen’s aerial ability and his knack for positioning himself well when the team moves the ball smoothly.
Osimhen has been heavily linked with a transfer away from Galatasaray, with several top clubs—including Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United—reportedly interested. However, Odemwingie is clear that Arsenal, Barcelona, and Real Madrid would be better fits for the Nigerian star’s career progression and playing style.
“Anywhere he goes, when they move the ball nicely, he can make a call for the ball,” Odemwingie added. “He is good in the air as well.” The former striker emphasized that Osimhen’s talents deserve a stage where pressure doesn’t overshadow performance.
