Manchester United will reportedly face competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal in the race to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli.
The striker has been in red-hot form this season, scoring 13 goals in 17 appearances in all competitions for the Partenopei – who lead the way in Serie A and topped their Champions League group.
And the goalscoring exploits of the 24-year-old – who bagged a brace as Napoli thumped Juventus(opens in new tab) 5-1 last time out – appear to have attracted the attention of a clutch of English clubs.
According to Naples-based newspaper Il Mattino, Newcastle are also keen on Osimhen – who could cost roughly £133m.
The Nigeria international’s current contract doesn’t expire until the end of the 2024/25 season, but he is said to be unwilling to discuss an extension until this summer – perhaps suggesting that he sees his future elsewhere.
