Nigerian U-17 star, Victor Osimhen, has confirmed
that he chose Wolfsburg over Arsenal.
The young striker has agreed a move to the
Bundesliga side, but will only be able to sign a
professional contract, when he turns 18 in January.
Osimhen burst into prominence last year, when he
scored 10 goals at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in
Chile. This led to many European clubs fighting for
his signature.
“It’s true that a big team like Arsenal wanted me
and I feel honoured to be invited over. But
personally, I feel Wolfsburg is a ladder for me to
reach my professional goals,” Osimhen told BBC
Sport.
“Yes Arsenal is a good team for young players but
Wolfsburg is the best club for me.
“This the best place for me to learn and develop
because my heart is here with Wolfsburg.
“The club’s plan for my career is very encouraging
and I believe with God on my side, I can grow to
become one of the best players in the world.”
