Troost-Ekong speaks on Osimhen’s future
Speaking in an interview captured by talkSport, the veteran defender stated that Osimhen is clear about the club he wants to join amid the swirling transfer rumours.
“I can tell you he’s a Chelsea fan, I can confirm that,” he said.
Reflecting on Osimhen’s impact on the Nigerian national team, he added,
“He’s a great teammate. In front of goal, he can be very greedy, but he’s someone who speaks up for the team in the changing room. He’s a real leader, and I’m sure he’ll be captain soon.
“The first time he joined us was in 2019 as the understudy to Odion Ighalo, but during training, we were so impressed.
“He always plays like it’s his last game of football, chasing down every ball and going for every header. Everything that looks like it shouldn’t be a chance, he makes it a chance. I think he’s one of the most feared strikers to play against.”
