Okocha urges Osimhen to switch

Speaking with BBC Africa, in a video posted on Twitter, Okocha stated emphatically that Osimhen has shown he has the qualities to excel in the Premier League.

The former Bolton Wanderers midfielder added he would love to see his compatriot feature in the English league for Manchester United or even Manchester City.

''I would love him to join Man City, but they already have Haaland and that won't be possible, but Man United have been struggling in front of goals and I think that will be a better place for him to move to.''

Okocha was at Bolton from 2002 to 2006, netting 14 goals in 124 appearances.
