Brad Friedel claims Victor Osimhen's move to the Premier League collapsed due to financial demands. The Nigerian striker was linked to Arsenal and previously courted by Chelsea. Despite his potential, Osimhen stayed with Galatasaray, where he has a strong following.
Friedel believes Osimhen has the ideal profile for the Premier League, citing his strength, aerial ability, and finishing skills. He notes that Osimhen can adapt to various team styles.
Further details on the situation are available, including Friedel's comments on the challenges of negotiating a deal with Osimhen.
