I Expect Osimhen To Leave This Summer - Galtier

The future of Nigeria's Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen at French Ligue One LOSC Lille remained unclear as the team coach Christophe Galtier said he expect the player to move.

Major European clubs are on the trail of the Nigeria youngster after a remarkable outing for the principality club in the just concluded season, BSN Reports.

While speaking to Canal plus, Galtier mentioned Osimhen alongside other players he expect to other big European clubs.

“The day I reason that we recruit players to train them for other clubs, it will not last more than 10-15 minutes with my president and Luis saying” it’s time to stop ”. People stay focused on “they buy for X, they sell for Y. The player arrives, he stays 18 months or 12 months and then he leaves” but there is not a French club that may not sell except Paris Saint-Germain.

“Everyone else is forced to sell and everyone else is like us. But they don’t assume it. I am in this project there, with young players who come from all walks of life and I find that it is very fulfilling,”Galtier stated in an interview with Canal Plus.

” I expect Gabriel, Osimhen or even Ikoné to leave? Yes, I integrated them into the team. I don’t want them to leave, but they will leave. I can’t veto a player’s departure, this is the project," he said

Osimhen netted 18 goals and 6 assists in all competitions this season for Lille.
