“He’s unbelievable. What he does for the country, what he’s done in the Champions League is amazing, a deadly striker,” Bassey said to Stadium Astro.
“I was kind of happy and upset at the same time that he didn’t come to the Premier League.
“It would have been good for him, but I’m happy I don’t have to play against him.”
Bassey confirmed that Osimhen is very much interested in moving to the Premier League.
