Osimhen, who was named the Foreign Athlete of the Year in Italy from the Foreign Press Association on Monday said he wants to win the Scudetto and also fulfill his long time dream.
“A lot of people worldwide consider the Premier League as the best and strongest league,” said the 24-year-old.
“I’m in one of the best leagues of the world, which is the Italian Serie A.
“Of course, I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League someday, but it’s a process and I just want to keep on this momentum.”
Osimhen teamed up with Napoli in 2020 from Lille in a big-money move.
He is leading Napoli’s quest to win their first Serie A title since 1990 during the time of Diego Maradona.
“As a football player, when you arrive in Napoli, you fall in love even more with football, because they base all their lives on the game and the support for the team,” he said.
“To be able to try to give them something to remember is a big mission for me.”
Maradona led the club to their only two titles in 1987 and 1990.
“When you talk about Napoli, the first player who comes in the mind of the fans is Maradona. Even if we can win the Scudetto, we can not compare with what Maradona has done for this club, he’s more than a legend,” Osimhen said.
The 24-year-old has scored 19 goals in 21 matches for Napoli in the Serie A this season.
