Osimhen is a man in high demand following brilliant season which saw him score 18 times in 35 appearances for Lille.
The 21-year-old only joined Les Dogues from Royal Charleroi for 12m euros last summer, but his value is now worth more than five times the price Lille paid for him.
Although he has only spent just one season at the club, Lille expect him to leave this summer, but for big money.
