Lille manager Christophe Galtier announced that Arsenal target Victor Osimhen will be leaving the club this summer along with team-mate Gabriel via a press conference following a stellar campaign as Lille’s top scorer in the 2019/20 season – netting 13 league goals as they finished fourth on the league table.
Lille owner, Gerard Lopez had earlier revealed at the end of May that ‘multiple offers’ have been made for the Nigerian, but Galtier has confirmed that him and Napoli target Gabriel will be moving on.
The Lille manager said in a press conference: ”Regarding Victor and Gabriel, yes, I’ve known for a long time that they’re leaving. They’re working hard with us in the meantime. We’re working on the players who are currently here and those likely to replace them, of course, the club is working to replace him [Osimhen].”
Osimhen’s superb season for Lille has made him one of the most sought-after young attackers in Europe, with clubs in France, Italy and England interested in the 21-year-old.
