AFCON advises Victor Osimhen

In a recent social media post, 2013 AFCON winner, Brown Ideye, suggested that if he were in Osimhen's position, he would consider a temporary move to the Saudi Professional League.

"If I were him, I would go to Saudi Arabia, play there for two years, and then return to Europe. He’s still young, and some players are making such moves.
I don’t understand why his agent doesn’t allow him to take a pay cut and join his dream club, Chelsea. I believe there’s more to the situation than what we read online."

Osimhen's future continues to be a topic of intrigue. Italian journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio, has reported that French Ligue 1 powerhouse, Paris Saint-Germain, are exploring options to secure the forward’s transfer in the final days of the window.
