So far, Napoli fans are living in Wonderland. Partenopei are playing beautifully and are winning too, and they are Serie A leaders with 8 points more than the second placed Lazio. But as soon as January, they can expect dark clouds over Vesuvius and not because of the volcano, but for the football agents lurking for Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian gem is terrific form and will be subject of some serious bids come 2023.JOSE PESEIRO’s 23-MAN SUPER EAGLES SQAUDGOALKEEPERSUzohoOkoyeAdeleyeDEFENDERSEkongNdahBasseyAkpogumaEbuehiDuruOnyemachiOsayiMIDFIELDERSAriboNdidiOnyekaEteboIwobiATTACKERSSimonChukwuezeLookmanMoffiOsimhenDennisOnuachu#9japayers🇳🇬💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/AXbxMKfKrj— ᴛᴇᴀᴍ ɴɪɢᴇʀɪᴀ 🇳🇬 (@9jaPlayersNews) November 11, 2022 Nigeria coach Jose Peseiro warned Napoleateans that it will be hard to resist the temptation to sell him to Manchester United or other interesting clubs. Osimeh is Serie A’s leading scorer with eight goals in 10 appearances and has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford. Overall, he scored 37 goals in 75 appearances since coming to Napoli in 2020.“He scored many goals and is still very young. It’s not easy, usually strikers reach his level at an older age, but I don’t think I am wrong when I say that every club in the world would like to sign him. Keeping a player like this for Napoli will not be easy given the value and the requests he will have. He presses, scores and uses his body, he could play for any club. Osimhen is a complete striker, I think Napoli will demand several million in the summer and I think many clubs will make their moves because Osimhen still has room for improvement” Nigeria coach Peseiro told TMW.Always listen to Carlo – the Italian expert wants Osimhen and LeaoWhen quizzed about the potencial accomplishment of African national teams in the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, Jose Peseiro didn’t want to name any specific country, but rather talked in general.”At the moment 95% of African players play in big leagues. There can be surprises, from Senegal to Cameroon, from Tunisia to Morocco: they are important nationals, with important champions, who play in the best teams in the world. Connecting everyone is not It’s easy for a coach, it’s clear: having all the players in a league is one thing, for an African national team it’s always about mixing and putting together many styles of play that the boys are used to”, said the Portoguese.Matteo loves Osimhen so much that he doesn’t mind losing his job just to talk to his favourite footballerPeseiro is now the Nigerian head coach and he set his bar quite high, expecting to win the AFCON.”At the moment Ghana are a very good national team but I think Nigeria, in my opinion, are better. When I signed with the Nigerian Federation, I was clear that I was in charge of the football movement. My goal is to win the next African Cup: I believe that Nigeria belongs to the best national teams in Africa, with many quality players playing between Italy, England, France, Germany are young and can all grow. Winning and then improving: this is our goal, in the coming years, we want to reach the level of the best national teams. I strongly believe, and I’m not crazy, to be here to win the next Africa Cup” said Peseiro.SERIE A – ROUND 15FridayEmpoli – Cremonese 2-0 (0-0)/Cambiaghi 46, Parisi 88/Saturday17:00: (1.53) Napoli (4.40) Udinese (6.75)20:00: (2.65) Sampdoria (3.05) Lecce (3.10)22:45: (2.45) Bologna (3.40) Sassuolo (3.05)Sunday14:30: (3.15) Atalanta (3.40) Inter (2.40)17:00: (1.90) Roma (3.50) Torino (4.70)17:00: (2.20) Monza (3.40) Salernitana (3.60)17:00: (2.20) Verona (3.40) Spezia (3.60)20:00: (1.75) Milan (3.70) Fiorentina (5.40)22:45: (2.05) Juventus (3.50) Lazio (3.90)***odds are subject to change***
