“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.
Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala was reported to have undergone surgery for his fractured fibula, which was successful.
It can be recalled that the player sustained the injury during the club’s match at the World Cup quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
After sustaining the injury, the footballer was taken off the field on a stretcher, leaving many fans and colleagues worried. However, this was later addressed by the club:
“Jamal Musiala has undergone successful surgery after returning from the Club World Cup in the USA. In the quarter-final between FC Bayern and Paris St. Germain, the 22-year-old attacking player suffered a fractured fibula as a result of a broken and dislocated ankle and was substituted at half-time.
“He will begin his first rehabilitation sessions tomorrow, Tuesday, and will be unavailable to the German record champions for the next few months.”
Nigerian artist BNXN has shared his thoughts on who Manchester United should target in the summer transfer window. As a dedicated Red Devils supporter, BNXN believes the club desperately needs a top striker and says Victor Osimhen would be the perfect fit.
“If there’s one player United should go for right now, it’s Osimhen,” he said during a chat with ESPN UK. “We need a proper striker, no doubt.” He also mentioned young Barcelona star Lamine Yamal and winger Raphinha as exciting alternatives he’d love to see in the squad.
Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has reportedly given the green light to a permanent switch to Turkish giants Galatasaray. This update was shared by Nigerian journalist Buchi Laba, who is known to have close ties with the Super Eagles striker.
In a post on X, Laba claimed Osimhen has said “yes” to Galatasaray and is eager to continue his career with the club. According to him, Napoli has been trying to convince the striker to stay, but Osimhen has made it clear he’s ready to move on.
Negotiations between Napoli and Galatasaray are now said to be focused on finalizing the payment for Osimhen’s release clause.
