“Man United Is a Better Fit for Osimhen Than Arsenal” – Gallas
Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has weighed in on Victor Osimhen’s next possible move, saying Manchester United might be a better fit for the Nigerian striker than Arsenal.
Gallas explained that while Osimhen is a solid Premier League prospect, United can offer him more time to settle in, unlike Arsenal, who are under pressure to deliver silverware immediately. He pointed to Cristiano Ronaldo’s early days at Old Trafford as a reference, noting that the Portuguese star took time to find his feet before becoming a standout performer.
Osimhen has been a hot topic in the transfer market, with Premier League giants like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United reportedly interested, especially after his issues with Napoli. Despite all the buzz, the striker ended up sealing a loan move to Turkish side Galatasaray for the season.
With the current campaign winding down, talks about his Premier League switch are back in full swing.
While speaking to Prime Casino, Gallas acknowledged Osimhen’s strengths—his ability to stretch defences, create space, and his hunger to learn. But he also warned that the adjustment period could take time.
“Premier League players often need that first season to understand the game here,” Gallas said. “Even Ronaldo wasn’t the Ronaldo we know today when he first arrived. It was the second season that showed his true potential.”
He added that Arsenal, given their title ambitions, can’t afford to be patient with a new striker who may take time to adapt. In contrast, Manchester United aren’t chasing the league title right now, which means they could give Osimhen the space to grow without too much pressure.
