The 24-year-old Nigeria striker told the Foreign Press Association at an awards ceremony in Italy that he was "working on his dream" to play in the Premier League.

Osimhen, who has scored 21 goals in 26 appearances for Napoli this season, said: "I think playing in [Serie A] one of the top five leagues in the world is an amazing feeling for me and a good fit.

"A lot of people worldwide consider the Premier League the best and the strongest league but I am in a process.

"Now I am in one of the best leagues in the world, which is the Serie A, and I am working so hard to make sure I achieve my dream, which is to play in the Premier League one day."
