Tottenham Hotspur join the race for Napoli ace Victor Osimhen
According to Football. London, Tottenham Hotspur have thrown their hat into the ring for the signature of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen was previously considered by Tottenham when he was in Ligue 1 with Lille, and it appears that the club is once again interested in securing his services. He could be an option for the club should Harry Kane leave.
Osimhen’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with a number of top European clubs reportedly interested in signing him. Alongside Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Chelsea are also linked with a move for the striker.
Tottenham’s interest in Osimhen is not surprising, given the club’s struggles in front of goal this season. The Spurs have struggled to find a consistent scorer to give Harry Kane a breather when he needs it.
Kane’s future at Tottenham is not certain either. The English superstar has long been linked with a move away from the club due to a lack of genuine ambition and the Champions League and FA Cup exits are not going to help this cause.
Osimhen would provide Tottenham with a much-needed boost in attack, bringing pace, power, and clinical finishing to the side. The Nigerian striker is capable of playing as a lone striker or as part of a two-man strike force, making him a versatile option for Tottenham’s attack.
The biggest hurdle for Tottenham in signing Osimhen will be the price tag attached to the player. After the kind of season that he is having, and considering the number of clubs that want him, it will come as no surprise if Napoli demand a ridiculous fee for their star man.
Despite the challenges involved in signing Osimhen, Tottenham will be encouraged by the fact that should Kane leave the club, they are likely to get a huge fee for him which can be reinvested in someone like Osimhen.
