Peseiro's remarks about Osimhen

"Osimhen scores a lot and he is young. It is certainly not easy, usually, a centre forward finds this level later on.
"Napoli are playing very well, they are first, the benefits are for both. For him, for the coach, and for his teammates. Keeping a player like this for Napoli will not be easy given the value and the demands he will have.''

Jose Peseiro confirms readiness

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Jose Peseiro who is the head coach of the Super Eagles has confirmed his readiness to convince Atalanta defender Caleb Okoli in switching his international allegiance to Nigeria.

The Portuguese tactician was appointed as the Super Eagles coach in May this year following Nigeria's failure to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup losing the play-offs to Ghana.

And since Peseiro came on board, he has been trying to fix many things in the Nigerian team and also set a target of winning the next African Cup of Nations.

Peseiro and his wards will soon start preparation for their coming international friendly against Portugal, and he stated that he will talk to Okoli after the game.
