Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen from Serie A club Napoli.
Victor Osimhen has been linked with a move away from Napoli after the official social media channels of the Serie A club mocked the player with derogatory posts. The Nigerian international has been linked with a number of clubs in recent months, and it appears that Tottenham have now joined the race as well, as per Fichajes.
The 24-year-old striker scored 26 goals across all competitions last season, and he is undoubtedly one of the best players in his position across the planet. He could prove to be an excellent acquisition for Tottenham if they can get the deal done.
Signing him midway through the season could prove to be tricky despite his unsettled situation. So, it is fair to assume that any transfer might have to wait until the end of the season. In addition to that, Napoli will demand the premium for the star striker, and it remains to be seen whether Daniel Levy is prepared to break the bank for him.
Tottenham sold Harry Kane earlier this summer, and they are yet to bring in a specialist replacement. Signing a reliable goal scorer could prove to be a wise decision. Richarlison has not been able to step up and fill the void left by the England international.
Osimhen has the quality to thrive in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact as well. The 24-year-old has shown his quality in Serie A, and he will look to take the next step in his career now.
A move to the Premier League could be an attractive option for him, and Tottenham could provide him with the platform to showcase his abilities against the best players in England. Osimhen is unlikely to have any shortage of suitors, with Chelsea also keen. So, Spurs will probably have to come forward with a lucrative offer to convince him.
The 24-year-old Nigerian striker will probably want to join a club capable of winning major trophies. So, it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can underline their ambitions with an impressive season this year.
