Report: Tottenham turn attention to prolific striker wanted by Chelsea
According to Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur may look to challenge Chelsea for the signature of Napoli star Victor Osimhen.
Is Victor Osimhen on his way to England?
Osimhen is widely thought of as one of the best centre-forwards in world football and he is now being backed to swap Napoli for the Premier League this summer.
Football Insider explained that Chelsea have started working on a deal to sign the Nigerian, with the Blues currently thought to be locked in negotiations with Napoli over the player.
It is alleged that the West London club are willing to offer cash plus Romelu Lukaku in exchange for the prolific Serie A marksman.
Tottenham to enter the picture?
If Football Insider’s latest update is to be believed, Spurs are also keeping close tabs on Osimhen and are now ready to compete with their London rivals for the player.
It is explained that Tottenham want an ‘A-list striker’ to fill the void left by Harry Kane, with Ange Postecoglou ‘obsessed’ with the idea of signing a top-class number nine.
As a result, the Lilywhites are now expected to turn their attention to Osimhen, with the North London club also allegedly willing to include their own players in the operation.
The publication adds that the other centre-forward on Spurs’ radar at the minute is Lille forward Jonathan David.
Spurs Web Opinion
The only way Tottenham can possibly afford a deal for Osimhen is if they are willing to offer a massive sweetener to Conte and Napoli such as Dejan Kulusevski or Radu Dragusin.
Jonathan David seems like a much more realistic target than the Nigerian.
