Premier League side Manchester United have reportedly made Nigeria international Victor Osimhen their summer priority after sending scouts to watch Napoli’s Champions League clash against Milan in April, according to reports on Mirror.
United manager Erik ten Hag is looking to add a prolific forward to his squad this summer and the 24-year-old is highly regarded by Red Devils chiefs.
The former Lille striker who joined the Parthenopeans in the summer of 2020 is the most sought-after striker ahead of the summer transfer window and several clubs have their eyes on the Napoli star.
The 24-year-old Nigerian striker has scored 23 goals in just 29 Serie A appearances to help Napoli crowned champions of Italy for the first time in 33 years.
“Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is wanted by Paris Saint-Germain but he would prefer a move to the Premier League, despite a recent trip to the France capital,” as quoted by Mirror
“United boss Erik ten Hag has prioritised the signing of a new central striker this summer to spearhead their attack for the long-term. The 24-year-old is highly regarded by United transfer chiefs and he heads the club’s striking shortlist.
“United scouts attended Napoli’s Champions League clash against Milan last month, when the Nigerian found the net but it was not enough for his side to progress in Europe but Osimhen’s goals fired the Italian club to their first league title in 33 years.
Osimhen spoke in March that it would be his dream to play in the Premier League as links with him moving to Old Trafford intensified.
“I think playing in one of the top five leagues in the world is an amazing feeling for me. A lot of people worldwide consider the Premier League as the best and the strongest league but now I’m in one of the best leagues in the world which is the Italian Serie A, “ Osimhen said in March.
