Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit has shared his thoughts on the future of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.

Victor Osimhen is expected to make his long-anticipated move to the Premier League this summer, with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester Unted all credited with an interest.

The Nigerian striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, is arguably the most sought-after forward in Europe and will no doubt cause a bidding war this summer.

Former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has spoken about Osimhen's future, and believes the former Lille man will be an excellent addition to Enzo Maresca's team.

“My concerns with Victor Osimhen would be with his personality and character, it can be a great thing for the team if it fits in, but it can also be difficult in other teams.

“We all know his qualities and what he can bring to the team, he can score goals and bring character, he reminds me of Diego Costa in that sense, he is a fighter.

"In terms of personality and character, it can be a lot, but he is very versatile, but there might just be better options on the market this summer,” the 54-year-old said via GOAL.

Osimhen has scored 26 goals in 30 appearances for Galatasaray this season, and will certainly be an instant upgrade in the centre-forward position for Chelsea, should he complete the move to Stamford Bridge this summer.
