De Boer however stated that it is remarkable that Osimhen is playing in Europe.
“Turkey, as a football nation, is a sleeping giant. It’s a large country with plenty of financial resources,” De Boer told Ajax’s official website.
” There are many good players there, that’s for sure. But money sometimes gets thrown around, especially when a club president wants to be elected or re-elected.
” It’s remarkable that Osimhen is playing in Turkey and that no English club managed to lure him away. You have to respect that choice, he’s a fantastic striker.”
