Chelsea & Man Utd eyeing deal for Victor Osimhen?


Victor Osimhen news

Osimhen to PL soon?

Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly interested in landing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen at the end of the campaign.

The Nigerian is currently on a season-long loan at Galatasaray where he has netted 28 goals in all competitions alongside five assists.

Osimhen has no plans to continue in Turkey next season and he would prefer a high-profile transfer to the Premier League instead.

ESPN claim that Chelsea and United are interested in the Nigerian star, who could be signed for around £56m from Napoli in the next transfer window.

The Serie A outfit won't sell him for anything less. Osimhen is prepared to move to England for an annual salary of £9.4m after tax.

United have him on their shortlist for the summer, but it is claimed that they could prioritise a deal for Liam Delap from Ipswich Town.

The 22-year-old will be available for £40m once Ipswich are relegated. He could be signed for a relatively affordable salary package.
