Former Super Eagles defender Godwin Okpara has supported a potential transfer of striker Victor Osimhen to Paris Saint-Germain.
The endorsement comes as a high-profile Nigerian football figure weighs in on the future of one of the continent's most prominent players. A move to the French capital would signal a shift in Osimhen's career trajectory and could alter the competitive balance of European club football.
Okpara spoke on the matter in Nigeria, where he said he was confident in the striker's ability to adapt to the Ligue 1 environment. He said the move would be mutually beneficial for both the player and the club.
"Victor Osimhen would thrive at Paris Saint-Germain and help them continue their dominance in European football," Okpara said [1].
The former defender said that Osimhen possesses the necessary skill set to integrate into the PSG system. By joining the Parisian side, the striker would join a roster designed for consistent success in both domestic and international competitions.
Okpara's comments highlight the expectations surrounding Osimhen's next career step. While the striker has attracted interest from various global clubs, the specific appeal of PSG lies in its ambition to remain a powerhouse in the sport, a goal Okpara believes Osimhen can accelerate.
