Tottenham Hotspur want Victor Osimhen and the Napoli striker has been hailed after destroying Sassuolo over the weekend.
Napoli are enjoying quite the season under Luciano Spalletti.
10 wins in 12 in Serie A have taken Napoli to the top of the Serie A table, already opening up a five-point gap.
In the Champions League, Napoli have won five from five and are looking to take down Liverpool tonight.
Tottenham Hotspur want Victor Osimhen
The main man for Liverpool to think about tonight is Napoli hitman Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian hitman is one of the top young strikers in world football right now and will have the Reds in his sights.
Osimhen has now racked up six goals in his last four games for Napoli, including a superb hat-trick against Sassuolo on Saturday.
Osimhen bagged two close-range finishes before dinking a third over Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli.
Tuttomercatoweb were raving about Osimhen after that display, rating him at 9 out of 10.
They called Osimhen ‘simply unstoppable’ and praised his return from injury as ‘out of the ordinary’.
The 23-year-old will be looking to add to his tally with a goal against Liverpool – and Tottenham Hotspur may be watching with intent.
Italian transfer reporter Enrico De Lellis has told Calciomercato that Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is urging the club to go and sign Osimhen.
It’s unclear whether Osimhen would be interested in joining Tottenham but it’s certainly an exciting rumour.
Osimhen would surely only be a target if Harry Kane was on the move but what a replacement that could be with the Napoli star looking like a goalscoring sensation.
Additionally, other clubs – such as Chelsea and Manchester United – are also keen on Osimhen and Napoli will be hiking up his asking price by the week.
Tottenham will be focused on their game against Marseille tonight but it wouldn’t be a surprise if Fabio Paratici had one his scouts at Anfield to watch Osimhen.
