I grew up cleaning gutters, fetching water for a living – Osimhen

 

SUPER EAGLES and Napoli star, Victor Osimhen, in an interview with compatriot, William Troost-Ekong, on YouTube has opened up on his journey to becoming a professional footballer and how he did menial jobs to survive.

Osimhen, who was born in Lagos, completed an €80m deal to move from Lille to Napoli in the summer of 2020 becoming the most expensive African player of all time.

The 22-year-old, a product of Ultimate Strikers Academy, made his breakthrough when he signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with Wolfsburg in 2017.

He then moved to Belgium and France playing for Charleroi and Lille respectively.
