I vouched for Osimhen, says Jorginho
Arsenal midfielder Jorginho has disclosed he vouched for Victor Osimhen before he joined Italian Seria A table toppers, Napoli.
He said the Napoli Sporting Director, Cristiano Giuntoli discussed with him on the phone before signing Osimhen.
“I knew Osimhen. I had played against him in the Champions League and he had given a hard time to our defenders.
“Giuntoli called me before signing him and I told him to sign him straightaway, he is very promising and is doing really well. There is winning energy,” Jorginho told DAZN.
Osimhen, a Nigerian striker, joined Napoli from French Lique 1 side, Lille, in 2020.
He is presently the top scorer in Serie A with 18 goals from 19 appearances.
