How Jorginho’s Napoli Endorsement Could Aid Osimhen’s Arsenal Move

Jorginho’s positive assessment of Victor Osimhen reportedly played a role in Napoli’s decision to sign the Nigerian striker from Lille in 2020. The former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder said Osimhen had caused problems for Chelsea’s defenders in the Champions League and urged Napoli to complete the deal. Osimhen went on to become a key figure in Napoli’s 2022/23 Serie A title win, scoring 26 league goals and finishing eighth in the 2023 Ballon d’Or rankings. He has also maintained a strong scoring record since joining Galatasaray. With Arsenal again linked with the Super Eagles forward, Jorginho’s past endorsement could be relevant if the club seek character references alongside their scouting and recruitment checks. However, any move remains speculation unless the clubs or player confirm negotiations.
