Osimhen told Omasports via BSN Sports:

"Not even 100 per cent, 1,001 per cent. I am at one of the biggest clubs in Europe, one of the best leagues in Europe."

Osimhen explained he had set standards for himself and was living the life he desired. However, he had kept believing, praying and working hard when things were not going well for him.

“I did other jobs before coming back to my love, football. To get to where I am today, there were a lot of obstacles, a lot of hate, and backstabbing. My success came with love, pain, tears, failures and things like that."

Osimhen joined Napoli from Ligue 1 club, Lille in 2020. The Italian giants are expected to seek around €100 million from interested suitors.
