Speaking to Snabbare via Football.London, Malouda praised the Super Eagles striker’s mentality and fighting spirit.
“Victor Osimhen can perform in the Premier League,” he said. “When you look at his mindset, his character, and his passion for the game, I think he belongs in the Premier League.
“But I think that’s what’s missing in his career now. He’s done great in Italy, in France, and now in Turkey.”
Malouda added that Chelsea and Liverpool would provide a stronger environment for the Super Eagles forward.
“I think his next step is the Premier League and the Champions League, where he can play in a team that can win it.
“I would say Chelsea, and maybe Liverpool, are the clubs that would suit him way better than Manchester United.
“He is very energetic, he’s a leader, he is the kind of player that the fans would love.”
Osimhen has often described the Premier League as his dream destination, with former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba remaining one of his biggest inspirations.
