Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing 25-year-old Napoli striker Victor Osimhen amid his links with Chelsea.
According to a report by Football Insider, Tottenham are keeping tabs on Victor Osimhen. The North London outfit are keeping tabs on the talks surrounding the 25-year-old, and they will face competition from Chelsea.
The report states that Chelsea are in talks to sign the striker this summer, and Tottenham are keeping tabs on the situation. It will be interesting to see if they can beat their North London rivals to his signature.
Osimhen is one of the best strikers in world football right now, and he could transform both clubs in the attack. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. The Nigerian international wants to join a big club capable of winning major trophies, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Meanwhile, Chelsea need to add goals to their attack as well, and the 25-year-old would be the ideal acquisition for them. He could lead the line for the Blues and transform them in the final third. Nicolas Jackson has not been able to deliver for Chelsea, and they were overly dependent on Cole Palmer last season.
Both clubs will be hoping to secure UEFA Champions League qualification next season, and they will look to do well in the domestic trophies. They need to plug the weaknesses in their squad this summer, and signing a top class striker could make a world of difference.
Tottenham need to sign Victor Osimhen
Tottenham have missed a clinical presence upfront since the departure of Harry Kane, and they need someone like Osimhen leading the line for them. His arrival will allow Ange Postecoglou to use players like Son Heung-min in their natural roles. The South Korean is more effective in a free role or in the wide positions.
Osimhen has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he would be a superb addition for Spurs if they can get it done. They will be able to offer him Europa League football next season. The Nigerian scored 17 goals in all competitions last season and he picked up four assists along the way.
