Roberto Calenda, the agent of Napoli star Victor Osimhen, confirmed his client’s happiness at the club and desire to ‘give a dream to a city he loves’.
The 24-year-old Nigerian forward is playing a key role for Luciano Spalletti’s side this season, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists across 14 Serie A appearances. Osimhen has already attracted the attention of top clubs around Europe, with multiple Premier League sides all seriously keen on a move, but he hasn’t let them distract him on the pitch.
Speaking to Corriere dello Sport, Calenda discussed the interest in Osimhen and his client’s focus on the title race with Napoli.
“Victor is fine, he is happy and perfectly integrated with the fans. At the stadium he is the first to party, to dance with the fans. His goal is to win with this team and give a dream to a city he loves. That is all there is to it.
“Victor is a natural talent, physically devastating, I think the key is consistency. He was penalised by injuries and now he can express his potential calmly.
“He is working well with the team, understanding and harmony are growing, and with Spalletti’s advice he is constantly improving. He is in the midst of maturing.”
Spalletti’s Napoli are on track to win their first Scudetto since the days of Diego Maradona. They currently sit nine points clear of second place Milan and 10 points clear of Juventus, giving them a comfortable cushion heading into the second half of the season.
