Transfer Rumours: Clubs interested in Victor Osimhen

We're already starting to look towards the summer Transfer Window

Napoli are on a great run at the moment and one of their players has been linked with a move to the Premier League.

Victor Osimhen is on a record-obliterating run in Serie A. He's hoping his hard work will help Napoli claim only their third-ever Serie A title.

A league title in 2023 would be their first since the legendary Diego Maradona led them to the top in 1990. The Nigeria striker is a key reason they're almost within touching distance.

In a recent match, Osimhen scored his 100th career goal. That helped the club to a 2-0 victory over Sassuolo and extended their league lead to 18 points.

It also took his tally to 18 goals for the season, extending his lead at the top of the league scoring chart to five goals and keeping him on course to claim the Golden Boot award at the end of the season.

Among current stars, only Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe have reached the triple-figure goals mark in fewer games. 

Friday's goal also meant Osimhen has scored in seven consecutive Serie A games. No Napoli player has done that since 1995.

There can be no question that his hard work and natural talent are bearing fruit. Osimhen has seen himself attracting desirous glances from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea.

Becky, a Chelsea fan, added: "I'm not sure where he'd fit in with us. That's unless we sell a few attacking players."

The rumours have made Manchester United fans dream of a potential partnership with Osimhen and Rashford. 

Liam, a Manchester United fan, told us: "This would be a great signing for United."

He has reportedly told the media: "I am focused on Napoli right now and they have the final say. I just want to help my team to win matches and win trophies. At the end of the season, we will see what is going to happen, but that is not up to me. It is for the club to decide."
