Done Deal: Tottenham Hotspur Has Signed Victor Osimhen For……….read more.

Tottenham Hotspur are poised to compete with Chelsea in the pursuit of Napoli’s prolific striker Victor Osimhen, aiming to fill the gap left by Harry Kane’s departure, according to PUNCH Sports Extra.

The North London club has been closely following the 25-year-old Nigerian international, with Football Insider reporting that Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou is eager to sign a new striker this summer.

Osimhen, who joined Napoli in 2020 for a record €77.5m, has excelled in Serie A, especially during the 2022–23 season. However, the striker is reportedly seeking a move away from the Italian club, creating an opportunity for Premier League teams.

Chelsea have already initiated aggressive negotiations with Napoli, proposing a possible cash-plus-player deal involving Romelu Lukaku. In response, Tottenham are contemplating including their own players in an effort to secure Osimhen’s signature.

A potential deal for the 25-year-old would require a substantial financial commitment, with Napoli having placed a €130m release clause in his contract. It remains uncertain if Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will be willing to make such a significant investment.

Osimhen’s arrival at Tottenham would signal strong ambitions, providing much-needed goal-scoring prowess and potentially becoming the face of a new era at the club.

The striker has previously turned down lucrative offers from the Saudi Pro League, with his preference for a Premier League move well known. As the transfer saga progresses, both Tottenham and Chelsea are keen to acquire one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers.
