Tottenham Ready Over $100m For Nigerian Star Ahead Of January Window
Tottenham Hotspur are looking to provide Harry Kane with a fierce competition in his own yard as they ready pursuit for Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian striker has already attracted many clubs to his doorstep but Napoli’s initially decision to keep him has seen his stay at Napoli gone beyond last summer.
Manchester United and Arsenal were among the two clubs who chased for the player but Napoli without a proper replacement weren’t going to let Victor leave.
Following the arrival of Giovanni Simeone, the Italian side may now listen to offers for Osimhen with Tottenham now pushing heavy to be one of the favorites.
Spurs will have to break the bank for the attacker with Napoli only opening ears to offers in the region of $100m with the player’s current form making it even more difficult to just let him walk.
The 23-year-old has already netted 8 Serie A goals in 10 appearances for Napoli with the Blues sitting 8 points clear at the top of the Serie A table.
Real Madrid are also another side strongly weighing up Osimhen as they perceive Erling Haaland not an easy task considering the amount of money City are ready to offer to keep him. A repeat of the Mbappe-PSG saga is what Los Blancos are looking to avoid.
Karim Benzema is undoubtably coming to end of playing days and landing a proper replacement now would be a very smart move for the La Liga Kings.
Osimhen featured in the Tuesday squad that beat Empoli 2-0 to maintain their lead at the top but now wider with 8 points.
