“He’s done well, he’s having a great season and I think he deserves all the praises that he’s getting,” Jay Jay said.

When asked if Osimhen should move to the Premier League, Jay responded, “I think so, it’s a league that improves players as well and you just have to find the right club that suits your game to make things easier for yourself but without any doubt, I think he’s good enough to play in the Premier League.”
On the question of what team would suit Osimhen, Jay Jay said, “Well, I don’t know, a team like Man City but they’ve got Haaland now, I think Man United as well might be ideal for him because they’ve been struggling with a quality striker in recent years.”
