Inter Milan after Nigeria U17 star Osimhen


Nigeria Under 17 international Victor Osimhen is being linked with a move to Serie A side Inter Milan, according to reports in the Italian press.

Italian sports dailyLa Gazzetta dello Sportsays Inter Milan suits have made contact with the entourage of the player regarding a contract.

But the stumbling block the Nerazzurri are expected to face in signing the striker is that he is not in the possession of an EU passport, meaning the earliest date he can be acquired is January 2017.

The Ultimate Strikers poster boy has drawn interest from Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool after putting himself in the shop window at the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup.

Osimhen has played two games for the Dream Team at the ongoing Africa U-23 Cup of Nations, including the semi – final tie against Senegal on Wednesday evening.
