Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
Napoli’s record signing Victor Osimhen is confident that racism will not be a problem for him in his new Italian club.<\/p>\n
The Partenopei signed the Nigerian striker for over \u20ac70m from Lille this summer and presented the new star at a press conference yesterday. The initial reports claimed Osimhen was hesitant, fearing the racism in Italy, but the Nigerian said he was convinced after visiting Naples.<\/p>\n
“I admit to being skeptical about the situation of racism in this country,” he said. “Then, however, I went to Naples and I saw it with my own eyes.<\/p>\n
“At that point, my vision changed, even after meeting the President and with the coach. I’m sure that racism will not be a problem for my career, with the affection of my fans, I will overcome any difficulty.”<\/p>\n
The youngster eventually signed a lucrative deal with the Azzurri and claimed he’s in Naples to ‘do great things’. “I define myself as a player who loves the team play. Passion is fundamental for me, my mentality is based on the idea of never giving up. The game is always open.<\/p>\n
“Being here is a big step for me, I have great teammates here. I don’t care about the money, what matters to me is doing great things as a footballer.<\/p>\n
“Being here is a dream come true for me.” The new forward revealed he prefers to play in the middle but would be open to play anywhere at Napoli.<\/p>\n
“I like to play as a center-forward, but I can play in any position. I’m happy to be at Napoli and I have fantastic teammates.”<\/p>\n
