Tottenham have yet to surrender following the pursuit of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. The Londoners made an official offer for the player during the January transfer window, but the Italian club rejected the offer. Recently, a source close to Tottenham has informed Football Insider that the English will make another offer for Osimhen, in the summer market. The player is valued at 70 XNUMX million by Napoli, and it looks like Tottenham are ready to pay that amount.
Despite the future of Harry Kane, the leaders of the English club have decided to bring a high-caliber striker to the team. Antonio Conte plays consistently with the 3-5-2 formation, putting together 2 strikers on the offensive line. For this reason, the Italian wants Kane and Son Heung-Min to feel the competition of another qualitative name.
Osimhen definitely falls into this category. The player has consolidated his position in Serie A, as he did in Ligue 1. Appearances in Europa League have also been quite good and the same can be said for his activations with the Nigerian national team. The player has scored 9 goals in 18 games in all competitions this season. But it should be noted that Osimhen has been out of the green for 2 months, due to a jaw injury.
The injury, along with Covid 19 left the footballer out AFCON, a big loss for the Nigerian national team. However, the player has returned to play with Napoli during the last 2 matches. Osimhen has scored a total of 19 goals and 5 assists in 46 games with the Italians. As for Nigeria, the striker has scored 10 goals in 18 meetings. It remains to be seen if Napoli will give up in the face of a fat Tottenham bid in the summer.
