Newcastle United have joined Manchester United in the race to sign Nigeria and Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen.

 

The 23-year-old has recorded 17 goals and six assists to his name in 30 appearances across all competitions for the Serie A side.

 

Napoli are reluctant to lose the star but could consider accepting a deal if the bidding prices become irresistible.

 

The Nigerian international is reportedly keen to play in the Premier League.

 

Osimhen’s notable transfer journey began from the Bundesliga to Belgium and then Ligue 1 before signing for Napoli for £67m in 2020.

 

The new ownership of Newcastle earlier in the season looks to be manifesting in their readiness to compete in the transfer market for big names like Osimhen.
