Premier League giants Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have come to learn of Napoli’s stand on one of their prized assets Victor Osimhen....CONTINUE READING
Victor Osimhen is a player in demand at the moment. The Nigerian striker is in red hot form even as I write this this article and many has tipped him to secure a big money move away from Napoli by the end of the current season.
The Nigerian has been in excellent form for his Italian Serie A side Napoli in the ongoing campaign, scoring 25 goals while also providing five assists in 29 appearances in all competitions.
His form has not only being in the domestic league this term, the striker has also found the back of the net on four out of five occasions in the UEFA Champions League appearances he has made this season, with his Napoli side now preparing for the quarter-finals of the competition.
Furthermore, his 21 goals and 5 assists in 23 Serie A outings this season has help keep Napoli at the top of the Serie A standing and pushing them closer to their first league title in many years, as Lazio languish in second place, 19 points behind league leaders Napoli.
Osimhen’s form this season has seen Premier League clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United show interest in him, with reports now claiming that an actual transfer valuation has been placed on the striker.
According to reports in Italy, the interested clubs have been told to prepare a fee of at least £150m, if they are to make any progress in securing the signature of Victor Osimhen during this summer transfer window.
While the reported £150m fee is an outrageous number, not many would argue that the Nigerian shouldn’t command such fee if players such as Darwin Nunez, Antony and Mudryk commanded high fees of their own.
Chelsea and Manchester United are said to be the ones seriously linked with the striker, with Arsenal behind the two in terms of commitment.
Both the Blues and the Red Devils believed to have identified the Nigeria international as their leading target for the upcoming market, with the two clubs looking to bring in new strikers.
However, it’s yet to be known if any of these clubs will be making a genuine offer for Osimhen when the summer market reopens, but should anything happen, it would definitely ring a bell.
