Former Chelsea winger, Florent Malouda, has advised Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen to make a switch to the Premier League, insisting his qualities suit English football.
Osimhen has previously been linked with clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, with speculation over his future continuing after he signed a long-term deal with Galatasaray last summer following a loan spell at the Turkish club.
Despite his current commitment in Turkey, Malouda believes the striker is ready for a bigger stage and says a move to England would be the natural next step in his career.
“When you look at his mindset, his character, and his passion for the game, I think he belongs in the Premier League. Where would he fit? Each club has a different story, a different budget, contract conditions, and situations,” Malouda was quoted by Football London.
“But I think that’s what’s missing in his career now,” continued Malouda, who won the Premier League and three FA Cups with Chelsea. He’s done great in Italy, in France, and now in Turkey.
“I think his next step is the Premier League and the Champions League, where he can play in a team that can win it. I would say Chelsea, and maybe Liverpool, are the clubs that would suit him way better than Manchester United.
“He is very energetic, he’s a leader, he is the kind of player that the fans would love.
