Sky Sports have claimed that Antonio Conte hopes to keep rumoured Tottenham target Victor Osimhen at Napoli for one more season.
Tottenham’s quest to sign a number nine continues as the new season fast approaches, with Ange Postecoglou himself admitting that signing a centre-forward is a priority (Football.London).
Osimhen has been mooted as a target over recent days, with Football Insider claiming on Tuesday that Spurs are prepared to challenge Chelsea for the Nigerian international.
The outlet claimed that the Lilywhites would even be willing to offer some of their players to Napoli in order to bring the 25-year-old to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Sky Sports now reveal that Osimhen’s future is very much up in the air, with several clubs circling around the striker.
The outlet says that Chelsea are currently locked in negotiations with Napoli, with the Blues willing to offer Romelu Lukaku to the Serie A side as a part of the deal.
Paris Saint-Germain are also said to be keen on securing Osimhen but the publication adds that Conte wants to keep the former Lille star at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Napoli would want nearly £100m for Osimhen and that is not a fee Spurs will consider paying, especially when there are cheaper alternatives on the market such as Dominic Solanke, Ivan Toney and Jonathan David.
Whatever the case, Spurs need to choose their target and get the deal done soon because the season is fast approaching.
