Napoli manager Antonio Conte has praised Victor Osimhen's professionalism and positive attitude, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future at the club.
The 25-year-old is one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market and has been linked with numerous clubs over the past few months.
Premier League sides Chelsea and Arsenal, French giants Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli are among the clubs reportedly interested in signing the Nigerian international.
Even though Napoli have reportedly resolved to lower their asking price for the Super Eagles forward, none of the interested clubs is presently willing to meet their demands, except for Al Ahli. However, Osimhen is reportedly not interested in playing in Saudi Arabia at this point in his career.
Conte on Victor Osimhen's commitment
Amid uncertainty surrounding his future, Osimhen joined his teammates earlier this week to commence the club's pre-season training at Dimaro-Folgarida.
This gesture from Osimhen has garnered praise from Conte and the Napoli faithful, with the 54-year-old speaking highly of the Nigerian's professionalism.
“We are talking about Victor as a professional, an excellent player, a top player,” Conte said in a recent interview as per Tuttomercatoweb. “I spoke to him, and he knows very well that absolutely nothing has changed.
“He is from Napoli, he knows very well that those who are from Napoli have to work and have the right attitude even if there is this type of agreement that we still don't know how it will end. I found him with a smile.
“What counts is the present, this afternoon the training and the attitude with me and my teammates.”
