Osimhen Refutes Chelle’s Transfer Snub Claim, Urges Fans to Ignore Rumours

Victor Osimhen insists comments by Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle were blown out of proportion. After helping Nigeria defend the Unity Cup in London, Chelle explained he left Osimhen out of friendlies against Poland and Portugal so the striker could sort his club future. The coach had cited visa issues for other players and felt it was better for Osimhen to rest rather than play below his best. He emphasised no ill will and praised the player’s quality. Osimhen says he called Chelle to clear the air. He thanked the coach for his support and asked everyone to disregard media spin. He also expressed gratitude to fans and looks ahead to more opportunities in green.
