Victor Osimhen, ace Nigerian soccer star
Victor Osimhen of Napoli is one of the attackers Manchester United wants to sign for manager Ruben Amorim.
Manchester United has been linked with the Nigerian international this summer.
Osimhen is on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, and the 26-year-old is expected to leave the Serie A club permanently during the summer transfer window.
On Friday, he scored his 26th goal in the Turkish top-flight league, helping them overcome ?stanbul Ba?ak?ehir 2-0.
This goal brought Osimhen’s total for Galatasaray this season to 37 goals in all competitions.
Osimhen’s loan arrangement with Galatasaray expires in the summer, hence the game against ?stanbul Ba?ak?ehir was his last for the season.
However, as reported by The Sun UK, Osimhen is among the five strikers Man United is targeting ahead of Amorim’s imminent squad overhaul.
The other four strikers are Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting Lisbon), Liam Delap (Ipswich Town),
Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt), and Moise Kean (Fiorentina).
Meanwhile, Delap is close to joining Man United’s Premier League rivals Chelsea. (Saturday Sun)
