Former Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, has advised Nigerian striker,Victor Osimhen, against a potential move to Saudi Arabia. 


Mikel Obi believes it would be "a shame" if Osimhen ends up in the Middle East this summer, suggesting that he still has much to offer in European football.


The former captain has expressed hopes that Osimhen will make a move to the Premier League, citing teams like Arsenal and Manchester United as potential options, with Juventus and PSG as possible destinations, emphasizing that Osimhen's talent would be better utilized in top European leagues.


Osimhen is set to return to Napoli after a successful loan stint at Galatasaray, where he scored 37 goals in 41 appearances. 


However, with a permanent move expected ahead of the 2025/2026 campaign, Mikel Obi's comments add to the speculation surrounding Osimhen's future.
