Former Super Eagles head coach weighed in on Victor Osimhen's transfer situation.

Former Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro has named a top European club he believes his former striker Victor Osimhen could join. 

The Galatasaray ace played some of his best football under the Portuguese—his record-setting AFCON 2023 qualifiers and the tournament proper, where he led the lines as Nigeria charged to a silver medal finish. 

During a recent interview, the now-departed coach spoke about Osimhen's current situation and acknowledged the rumours linking the Nigerian to a certain European club the 25-year-old could join.

Peseiro was asked about Juventus' prospects of landing the Nigerian, and he was forthcoming with his answer, stating that he could envision the former Royal Charleroi man in the Old Lady's white and black. 

“Victor, for various reasons, is currently in Turkey,” Peseiro told Sports Italia. “But I believe that in the near future he can reach (as he was very close to doing) the top clubs in Europe, such as Juventus.”
