The Daily Mail have now named Chelsea as the most likely destination for rumoured Tottenham target Victor Osimhen if the striker leaves Napoli in January.
Interest Toward Victor Osimhen
It was last week that Tottenham considered Osimhen as a possible Ivan Toney replacement. According to the source, the Nigerian striker is still “in the sights of many top European clubs,”. Some of whom may launch a “decisive assault” on him in January.
It was mentioned that if the 24-year-old’s contract expired in 2025. And Napoli was unable to go forward with negotiations for a new deal. The Italian team may list Victor Osimhen for sale.
Spurs in the Race
The publication said that the striker is “within reach” of Spurs. And that the defending Serie A winners will seek an incredible €120 million (£105 million) for him.
Chelsea is first in line for Victor Osimhen.
The Mail has now increased the likelihood that Osimhen would leave the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium in January. Raising the possibility that the striker may end up in the Premier League.
Chelsea likely Destination
Although he turned down certain approaches from Napoli last summer. It is said that the former Lille star’s relationship has worsened and he may want to depart when the transfer market reopens in the middle of the season.
According to the article, Stamford Bridge is Victor Osimhen “most likely destination” if he decides to leave Naples.
Despite his contract predicament, I do not envision a scenario in which Napoli sells Osimhen for less than £100 million in January, and we all know that Tottenham does not play in such price ranges.
