Former England striker, Gary Lineker, has revealed why top teams in Europe did not make a move for Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen was linked with Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Manchester United this summer.
However, the only concrete offers were from Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League and the 26-year-old turned them down.
Osimhen has now sealed a permanent €75 million transfer to Galatasaray, where he spent last season on loan from Napoli
Lineker, speaking on The Rest is Football podcast, claimed several clubs were “nervous” about signing the Nigerian.
He said: “I hear through the grapevine that some clubs are a bit nervous because he sometimes goes missing for a few days.
“So apparently, there are slight concerns about his character in that regard.”
