Peter Crouch Warns Victor Osimhen Against Potential Saudi Move After Stellar Tottenham Performance

Peter Crouch, former England international, has praised Victor Osimhen’s remarkable skillset following the striker’s impressive performance, including a brace against Tottenham.

Crouch admired Osimhen’s strength, aerial dominance, and technical touch, noting that he’s a complete player who can make a significant impact on the pitch.
However, Crouch believes Osimhen’s current stint at Galatasaray is merely a temporary solution, a “stopgap” designed to run down his existing contract and possibly lower his transfer fee for a future move. He emphasized that Osimhen’s next career decision is crucial, cautioning against a premature switch to Saudi Arabia. Crouch implied that a move to a league like the Premier League or another top European competition could better align with Osimhen’s abilities and ambitions.

This assessment highlights the high expectations for Osimhen’s next transfer, with fans and experts alike eagerly watching his trajectory after this season​.

“I love watching him play. He’s like, so strong, powerful and fantastic in the air. He’s got good touch, he can play,” Crouch said. “This is obviously a stopgap, I think Galatasaray is just a means for him to wind his contract down a bit, maybe reduce his transfer fee if you’d like, but his next move is crucial.”
