Chelsea legend, Glenn Hoddle has advised Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, to switch from the Italian Serie A to the English Premier League (EPL) after his team defeated Eintracht Frankfurt in a Champions League tie played on Tuesday night.
The Nigerian international, following another brilliant display, won a penalty for his side but they were unable to capitalise on it to open the scoring.
Osimhen, however, scored his side’s first goal in their 2-0 win over their Bundesliga opposition, before Di Lorenzo capped it up with a second.
Hoddle while analysing the match on BT Sport, described the 24-year-old striker as a top player who has everything required to succeed at the top level.

He said: “He [Osimhen] has got that pace to go in behind defenders.
“And he is also good at hold-up play as well, he can hold the ball up. He’s got everything at the moment.
“He is a top, top player. Let’s hope he can just continue, be injury free, and end up in the Premier League. It would be lovely to see him play every other week.”
