The Napoli striker's future has been a subject of debate, with Manchester United keenly interested in his services.

Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has clarified his future after he was linked with a move away from Napoli. Osimhen is being linked with a move away from Napoli following his incredible start to the season.

Osimhen's impressive numbers 

The Nigerian international has been heads and shoulders above every other player in the Italian Serie A this season. 

He currently leads the Serie A scorers' chart with nine goals in 11 games, while he also has three assists to his name and one goal in three Champions League.

These brilliant displays have not gone unnoticed amongst Europe's top clubs, with Manchester United leading the race.

The Red Devils were linked with Osimhen in the summer, with reports suggesting they were ready to offer Cristiano Ronaldo plus cash for the Super Eagles star.

Osimhen 100% staying at Napoli

While a move never materialised, Osimhen continues to be linked with a move to United. However, the former Lille man has come out to say he is not interested in leaving Napoli, saying he is playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world.

"Not even 100 per cent, 1,001 per cent. I am at one of the biggest clubs in Europe, one of the best leagues in Europe," Osimhen told Oma Sports when asked if he would consider a move away from the club.

Osimhen's decision to stick with Napoli is understandable, as the Neapolitans are on course to win the Italian Serie A this season. At the same time, their Champions League prospect also looks good.

The Super Eagles star's current contract in Naples runs until the summer of 2025.
