Victor Osimhen has to be considered one of the hottest properties in Europe right now.

He’s the top scorer in Serie A, and his Napoli team look to be on course for their first league title since the days of Diego Maradona.

However, despite all of his good work in Italy, it’s a well-known fact that the Premier League is where all of the money is in football these days.

Osimhen has been linked with a move to England for quite some time now, with both Arsenal and Newcastle supposedly keen on his signature.

The rumour mill on this front has now gone into overdrive over in Italy, and two bizarre transfer links have now emerged courtesy of TuttoMercatoWeb.

Indeed, according to the Italian outlet, both Fulham and Everton have an eye on Osimhen, and while that may well be true, it’s fair to say that either of those moves are incredibly unlikely.

Osimhen has recently been discussed as a £250m player, he’s headed to one of Europe’s biggest and richest clubs if he’s going to leave Napoli, he’s not set for Fulham or Everton.

Everton are nowhere near the level of thinking about this type of signing at the moment, and while Fulham may be thinking about a more ambitious approach to the transfer window going forward after their remarkable start to the season, Osimhen is surely a step too far for the Craven Cottage outfit. After all, it was recently said that the Nigerian ‘surpasses Haaland’ in certain aspects of his game.

Osimhen may be destined for a move away from Napoli at some point, but he’s much more likely to end up at a club like Arsenal or Newcastle rather than Fulham or Everton.
