Former France defender William Gallas has backed Nigeria international Victor Osimhen to make a name for himself if he finally signs for a club in the Premier League.

The 29-year-old, who currently plays for Süper Lig club Galatasaray, has been linked to moves to England, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea among the sides he is being mentioned with.

According to Gallas, who played in the Premier League for Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham, Osimhen could be a great player in the top-flight: “I think Victor Osimhen can become a star in the Premier League, he has the right profile. He can stretch play and stretch the back lines,” Gallas told Prime Casino.

“[He is an] attacker who can run into the space he makes, and he could be useful for any club in the Premier League. He’s always learning, but at the same time, how long will he need to adapt to a new situation?

“We’ve seen foreign players before, it’s often difficult for them in the first season. [In] the second season, they step up, so it’s not unusual at all.

“Even Ronaldo, in his first season, he wasn’t the Ronaldo we know now, but in the second season, there were signs. It all depends on which club. If Arsenal need results straight away, they need to win the Premier League next year, then they need one player who can do it straight away. They don’t have time.

“If we talk about Manchester United, from where they are now, they don’t need to win the league. They’re looking to be top four or top five, so maybe they can give Osimhen the time he needs.”

Osimhen has scored 22 goals in 26 matches for Galatasaray, providing five assists.
