Former Premier League star Gabriel Agbonlahor has warned those in charge of Premier League giants Manchester United that paying a massive sum of £133m for them to have Victor Osimhen this summer won't be pleasant.

Osimhen has been one of the best strikers so far this season in Europe with the Nigerian topping the Italian Serie A goalscoring table and he is now on the verge of becoming the first Nigerian to win the Golden Boot in Italy.

According to the report on Football365, Agholahor explained that the price tag Napoli is asking for is enough reason for Man United to stay away.

Agbonlahor's statement about Osimhen

“I do like him, but he’s only done it for one season.
“It’s dangerous when you’re going and buying players who have only been outstanding for a short amount of time.
“I can tell you that the Premier League is a much tougher league than Serie A, and Man United will be wary of paying silly money for him.
“Napoli is going to want over £ 100 million for him.''

Why Osimhen did not join Arsenal

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Victor Osimhen once had a chance to join English Premier League club, Arsenal but he preferred a move to Germany, where he joined Wolfsburg in 2016.

He initially signed a pre-contract with the Bundesliga outfit and by 2017, he officially joined the club.

The striker confirmed he had received an invitation to the Emirates Stadium.

Osimhen ceded the Gunners as a good team for young players but felt the Bundesliga outfit was his best move.

With the Gunners now on the verge of scuttling their chances of a Premier League title, his choice has been framed once again
