Manchester United target Victor Osimhen is 'one to watch' for a potential switch to Old Trafford, according to journalist Carlo Garganese.
Erik ten Hag is believed to be interested in a move for the Napoli forward, with the Red Devils looking to strengthen in attack following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Man United Transfer News - Victor Osimhen
Osimhen has attracted interest from numerous Premier League clubs, although CalcioMercato state that his current club are demanding a fee in the region of £87m to part with their prized asset, which may be a potential stumbling block.
Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg indicates that United would be unwilling to match this valuation, but they still consider the Nigerian one of their top targets, due to his speed, physicality and finishing ability.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via Sport Witness, Liverpool are also weighing up a move for the striker, while Tottenham may still be monitoring a deal, with Football London reporting that they were interested in a move in the summer.
What has Garganese said about Victor Osimhen?
Garganese claims that Osimhen is very interested in a move to the Premier League and believes that Napoli may choose to cash in while they can still command a massive transfer fee, telling GIVEMESPORT: "I'm certain that Osimhen will play in the Premier League over the next few years, whether it's next summer or the summer after, we'll have to see what happens.
"Napoli, if they win the league may think it's the time for him to go, having finally won that first league in over 30 years, they could cash in on him, so I think he's one to watch."
Victor Osimhen's stats for Napoli
As per Transfermarkt, the 23-time Nigeria international has made 76 appearances for Napoli, scoring 38 goals, so the United target has averaged a goal every other game since arriving at the club from Lille in a deal worth around £70m in July 2020, according to BBC Sport.
In that time, Transfermarkt stats also highlight that the 23-year-old has chimed in with 12 assists, highlighting how well-rounded his game is, a viewpoint also shared by legendary Chelsea forward Didier Drogba, who described him as the "complete striker".
According to SofaScore, the Napoli talisman particularly flourished during his side's 4-0 win against Sassuolo at the end of October, picking up a hat-trick and a 9.3 match rating in a remarkable display, a game in which the 6 foot 1 finisher also won all of his aerial duels.
With that in mind, it is evident how important Osimhen is for the Serie A title-chasers, meaning Ten Hag may have to stump up an astronomical amount to bring him to Old Trafford, whenever that may be.
