“If Victor changes, then okay. I’d buy him if I was at a club with a lot of money. However, if he goes to England one day, he needs to change, because in Italy they put up with this sort of behavior, whereas in the Premier League, they’d come down hard on him.”
Osimhen currently leads Serie A in scoring with 14 goals in 16 games.
Ademola Lookman, another Nigerian, is second with 12 goals.
