Three Premier League clubs including Manchester United and Arsenal to lock horns for Victor Osimhen – Report

Victor Osimhen recently scored twice in his team’s rout of Juventus at the Diego Maradona Stadium.

Three Premier League teams, Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Manchester United, are said to be competing for Victor Osimhen’s signing.

According to IL Mattino, the three teams presently vying for the Premier League title are keen to lure the outstanding striker to England.

The Nigerian international has made headlines recently after topping the Serie A scoring charts with 12 goals and playing an essential role in Napoli’s Italian top-flight title pursuit.

His performances have likely caught the eye of numerous teams looking to add to their squad.

Manchester United, who are keen on adding an attacker despite securing Wout Weghorst on loan, are apparently leading the battle to sign the goal poacher, along with Arsenal, who lost out on Ukrainian star Mykhailo Mudryk, and Newcastle.

Osimhen, who is claimed to have put rigour and discipline into his style of play, is valued on the market at roughly €70 million, but the Parthenopeans would not let him leave without a record-breaking offer.

Chelsea, the transfer heist king, may be interested in hijacking the deal in the summer, as they are anxious to improve their team following a string of injury setbacks.
