1982 World Cup winner with Argentina, Alessandro Altobelli, who scored the third goal in the famous win over Germany, has noted that Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen, will be irreplaceable.

Victor Osimhen has been said to likely move out of the club with three Premier League clubs Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle United keeping tabs on the Nigeria international.

The player who is valued to be worth over 100 Million Euros is also interested in seeking glory elsewhere and would prefer an English side that is probably in the champions league.

Although there has been no evidence of a bid submitted by any club, Alessandro Altobelli believes the forward will be missed should he leave the club when the transfer window opens 

"The nice thing is that there are so many English teams ready to make false moves for him, but I don't think the club wants to sell him," he said on channel 8, according to Calcio Napoli 24.

"Even with a cash-out of 150million Euros, it would not be easy to replace him. Napoli doesn't need money, but strong players."

The 23 years old player who stands the possibility of winning Africa Player of the Year still has a contract with Napoli until June 2025.
