John Mikel Obi insists Victor Osimhen should not consider a move to Saudi Arabia at this stage of his career.
Osimhen has returned to Serie A champions Napoli following the expiration of his loan spell at Galatasaray.
The forward is yet to decide his next destination with Galatasaray and Saudi club Al-Hilal battling for his signature.
With Chelsea not considering a move for the Nigeria international again, Mikel is still hopeful the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal can sign his compatriot.
” I hope there is still a Premier League move for him this summer’, he told Metro.
‘I think the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United, they still need a striker. I don’t think [Rasmus] Hojlund is the guy for Manchester United. He runs around and works hard but he is not the guy who will score goals, put them in the top four and win them trophies. So for me Manchester United might be the destination.

‘I don’t want to see him in Saudi right now because he still has so much to offer in Europe. It would be a shame to see him go there. So maybe Arsenal, United, Juventus and PSG too [are his options]. Let’s see what happens.’
