Roberto Calenda who is the agent of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has dismissed reports linking the Nigerian star with a move to the Premier League claiming his client is fine at Napoli.

Victor Osimhen has been impressive this season for Napoli as the Nigerian and his teammates are in the race for the Serie A title even though they are currently occupying second position on the table.

Premier League clubs like Newcastle United, Manchester United and Watford are all said to be monitoring Victor Osimhen and would move for the Nigerian striker in the summer.

According to the report on The Nation, Roberto Calenda made it clear that Victor Osimhen's target is to continue scoring for Napoli and he is not worried about speculation.

Calenda added that Napoli coach Spalletti has helped Victor Osimhen since he got to the club and the Nigerian is ready to pay him back with goals.

Roberto Calenda's reaction about Victor Osimhen

''Osimhen is focused, he wants to win and we have all seen his attachment to the team, how he throws himself on every ball. He knows he plays on a strong team. Newspapers rightly need to be filled and written.
''Even those who do not know football probably, if asked for the names of strikers, would do that of Osimhen. Victor is a Napoli player and now there are seven finals, the important focus is on this season.''

Who is topping the Serie A standings?

After 31 games played so far this season, AC Milan are topping the Serie A standings with 67 points and they are only 1 point ahead of second placed Napoli.
