Super Eagles boss Jose Peseiro has said Victor Osimhen is not happy with his recent injury but believes he will be back a better and stronger player, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The energetic attacker has been out of action since the last International break while representing Nigeria against Saudi Arabia in Portugal.

While speaking to the Italian football news outlet, Peseiro backed Osimhen to return stronger and still believed that top European teams would still demand him.

"Ballon d’Or? To have come eighth in the world and first in Africa in this voting is extraordinary,” Peseiro told Sportitalia, via Il Mattino.

“He is not happy, because he had an injury, which is not good news for us, for Napoli, and the Italian championship. 

They have not been simple weeks, the rumors about the signed contract, the transfer market issues, and the issue of the TikTok video, especially for an important player like him.

“Now, however, I know that he has a great desire to return to the pitch as soon as possible. 

For his abilities, for what he has demonstrated, he has and will always have the best clubs in the world who will want him", he added.
