Obinna in Napoli appeal
Thursday 26 June, 2008

Victor Obinna is ready to quit Chievo despite their promotion to Serie A and is hoping for a move to Napoli.

The Nigerian marksman has been on the radar of several top-flight sides and is seen by many experts as a hugely exciting prospect for the future.

While Catania were early favourites to lure Obinna, he has revealed his soft spot for the Partenopei.

“I would really like to play for Napoli,” the 20-year-old told Radio Kiss Kiss Naples.

“I am very happy with the achievement that we reached at Chievo.

“It was a deserved promotion, even if it was difficult because of the ruthless competition. As the games went by we believed more and more in our abilities.

“But I know that there are lots of teams chasing me and my agent is weighing up every offer that presents itself.

“I can confirm that Roma and Napoli are very interested and they were both chasing me last year.

“Personally, I would love to play for Napoli because the Stadio San Paolo has a spectacular atmosphere and so many champions have worn the Partenopei shirt, such as Diego Maradona.

“I have also had offers from Spanish, English and German teams. We will see who presents the best proposal economically speaking within the next few days.”
