Chelsea and Manchester United to lock horns for highly rated Super Eagles forward

The outstanding performance of Victor Osimhen has caught the attention of numerous European teams wanting to bolster their roster.

Two Premier League club, Chelsea and Manchester United, are ready to go head-to-head to secure the signature of red-hot Nigerian attacker, Victor Osimhen, from Napoli.

According to reports, the two powerhouses are willing to pay the Parthenopeans’ €120 million asking price in order to secure the services of their key striker from the Diego Maradona stadium.

With 17 goals and three assists in all competitions for Luciano Spalletti’s team, the Nigerian striker has established his dominance as the top scorer in Serie A without a shadow of a doubt.

The striker, however, leads the Serie A scoring chart with 4 goals ahead of his countryman, Ademola Lookman, who is also firing on all cylinders for Atalanta.

In their search for a new striker, Manchester United signed the best available alternative, Wout Weghorst, in the January transfer window on a short-term contract. They plan to go all-out in the following summer to find the best player to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

With the way Osimhen plays, he could as well be the best striker to pair with Rashford in the Red Devils’ attack.

On the other side, the Blues, who signed defenders and midfielders in the January transfer window, now have the dilemma of finding the ideal striker to complete Graham Potter’s jigsaw.

The 24-year-old will give Chelsea’s attack the physicality it needs if he is signed.

Sport Witness cited Gazzetta dello Sport as saying that only four teams, including Manchester United, Chelsea, and two more in the English Premier League, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, may recruit the Nigerian.

The Neapolitans, who have Osimhen under contract until June 2025, would make a hefty profit if they were to sell the Super Eagles’ star, having acquired the striker from Lille for for €50 million.
