Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has set his sights on a Premier League move, sparking intense competition among English giants. Currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, the 25-year-old has been in scintillating form, netting 10 goals in the Turkish Super Lig and delivering decisive performances, including a brace against Tottenham in the Europa League. This remarkable run has caught the attention of Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
Manchester United appears to be leading the charge for Osimhen, reportedly willing to pay his lowered €75 million release clause. After a disappointing start to the season, United seeks to strengthen their attacking options and view Osimhen as the perfect addition to revive their campaign.
Arsenal and Chelsea are also monitoring the striker. Arsenal has sent scouts to observe Osimhen in Turkey, aiming to address their need for a top-tier forward. Chelsea, despite exploring multiple financial structures last summer, failed to secure his signature but may revisit their interest in January.
While Osimhen is reportedly open to a Premier League switch, Galatasaray is making efforts to retain him beyond his loan tenure. Early talks between the player and the Turkish side indicate mutual interest, which could complicate the plans of his English suitors.
Osimhen’s next destination remains uncertain, but his ability to dominate in front of goal ensures he will remain one of the most sought-after talents in European football. Fans and clubs alike will be closely watching developments in the January transfer window.
