Southampton Join Race For Osimhen

Southampton have join the race to sign Nigeria international Victor Osimhen this summer, according to reports.

 

The flourishing youngster has been on loan in Belgium from Wolfsburg and has had a successful season playing for Charleroi – scoring 16 goals in all competitions.

Osimhen has been wooed by various clubs ahead of the transfer window with the Saints now among the potential suitors.

The 20-year-old had allegedly gave a verbal agreement to complete a summer switch to AC Milan before heading to LOSC Lille on loan for the 2019/20 campaign.

However, Southampton are bent on enticing him this summer and are confident of the player successfully obtaining a work permit.

Osimhen is likely to be in high demand this season and reports says Wolfsburg is likely to ask for a fee worth £20 million for the Nigerian attacker.
