‘Injured’ Osimhen trains alone amid fresh PSG pursuit

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly trained separately for the second day in a row due to muscle fatigue.

Multiple sources in Italy, including Il Corriere dello Sport, claimed  that Napoli star Osimhen trained separately for the second consecutive day due to muscle fatigue.

According to reports, Osimhen didn’t join his teammates on the pitch but worked separately in the gym instead.

Osimhen has recently signed a contract extension with the Partenopei, but the deal includes a €130m clause, so Napoli are prepared to part company with the Nigerian star.

No club, however, has yet paid the clause or sent offers for the 25-year-old, so the striker has started the pre-season under Antonio Conte at Dimaro in Trentino Alto Adige.

The latest reports stated that Osimhen dreams of moving to the Premier League, but Al Ahli and PSG are currently the most interested clubs in securing his services.

Meanwhile,  French tabloid L’Equipe has yet again hinted that  PSG will in the coming days, relaunch their pursuit of the  Nigeria international striker as this summer’s transfer window gets frenzy.

With Conte ready to part  ways with Osimhen  in order to bring in  Belgian Romelu Lukaku , it’s increasingly  clear  that  the Nigerian ace striker will have to move elsewhere  as soon as possible.

Yet L’Equipe  further claimed PSG would also want to offload strikers Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos before they step up their chase for the Super Eagles striker.

In a related development, Arsenal have reportedly  given up on plans to sign Osimhen and Sporting CP star Viktor Gyokeres.

While the Gunners’  decision to snub Osimhen is  hinged  on his hefty price tag of over £100 million, Gyokeres’ 86m release clause  is said to be  the hindrance  with words rife  the two players  are not even willing to come to Arsenal if  they  are not guaranteed a starting place in the team.
