• Verydarkman, however, caused an uproar after he claimed Osimhen was better than Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe

Martins Otse, aka Verydarkman, has joined other prominent figures to support Victor Osimhen despite the backlash he has faced on social media over his transfer dilemma.

Legit.ng reported that Osimhen has been caught between accepting a mouthwatering offer from Saudi Arabia or reducing his wage to join Premier League side Chelsea.

Yet to decide on his future, the Super Eagles star has been left out of Napoli's squad.

VDM advises Osimhen

Verydarkman recalled how Osimhen, who was the hero of Napels in 2023 after he helped the Serie A side win their first trophy in over 30 years, is being downplayed.

The critic also replied to those tagging Osimhen as greedy, stating that the footballer deserves better pay than Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe and Man City's Erling Haaling. According to VDM, he was better than them.

VDM, however, advised Osimhen not to consider moving to Saudi Arabia as he still has a lot to offer in Europe.
