https://dailypost.ng/2024/09/08/epl-arteta-reportedly-ended-arsenals-interest-in-osimhen-after-public-spat-with-finidi/I am glad that Victor Osimhen finally secured a club after all the delays and tensions. Seeing this headline today, I think it is worth discussing because it has some lessons. To be a successful player, talent is not enough, character is more important. Victor made some mistakes that affected his transfer, he has anger management issues. His unguided comments about some coaches he has worked under are not okay. Coaches should have the right human management skills but no coach would like to work under a player who cannot control his emotions.
If the report in the headline about Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta backing out his interest on Victor Osimhen because of the spat with Finidi George is true, then I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I love Victor Osimhen and will want him to continue to fly high but discipline and self control from unnecessary issues are the things he must possess in other to remain at the top. There are managers who doesn't like to work with players with past track record of media dramas and they do that in other to avoid having same experience with the said players which I think is okay
Osimhen could have been very useful for Arteta. We may be making this comment because they could not make this transfer happen. However, if he had transferred to Arsenal and played successful matches there, we could have thought the opposite. He will be playing for Galatasaray right now and the whole world will be following his performance closely. Because this was a transfer that almost no one could have predicted. Everyone thought he would go to bigger teams than Galatasaray. Naturally, we expect him to score more goals in the Turkish Super League. Maybe he can come back to Arsenal's agenda during the mid-term transfer period.
