Jun 4 “He’s Built for the Premier League!” – Super Eagles Media Officer Pushes for Osimhen to Join Arsenal Over Al Hilal

As transfer rumors swirl around Victor Osimhen’s next move, Super Eagles media officer Promise Efoghe has openly called on the Nigerian striker to choose Arsenal over Saudi giants Al Hilal, claiming the 26-year-old could easily net 30 Premier League goals if he lands at the Emirates.

💥 Arsenal or Al Hilal?

While Al Hilal are reportedly preparing a blockbuster offer for Osimhen — who just wrapped a stellar 37-goal season with Galatasaray — Efoghe believes the Gunners are a better fit for his dynamic style and long-term legacy.

🗨️ “I want him to go to Arsenal because... with the way he plays and the way Arsenal plays, he can score up to 30 goals in the Premier League,” said Efoghe on the MatchUp Podcast.

⚽ Why Osimhen to Arsenal Makes Sense:

Arsenal desperately need a prolific striker to turn dominance into titles.
Osimhen’s blend of pace, power, aerial strength, and clinical finishing is a perfect match for Mikel Arteta’s attacking setup.
He’s also Premier League-ready, unlike some prospects still needing development time.

🏆 But What About the Money?

Saudi Arabia’s Al Hilal can easily trigger Osimhen’s €75M release clause and offer him a paycheck no European club will match. They also dangle the appeal of playing in the FIFA Club World Cup this year.

However, Efoghe’s comments reflect a sentiment shared by many African fans — that Osimhen belongs on the biggest football stage, not in a league where visibility and competitiveness are still catching up.

🔥 Opinion: Legacy Over Luxury?

Osimhen is at a career-defining crossroad. One path leads to global stardom and Premier League immortality. The other? Financial comfort but a lower competitive profile.

With his age, form, and momentum, this is the perfect moment to test himself against the best. If he truly wants to be remembered like Drogba, Henry, or even Haaland, Arsenal is the stage.
