Victor Osimhen, a striker for Napoli, could be a target for Manchester United this summer, claims Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth.
Osimhen is one of the top candidates on the Red Devils’ transfer wishlist as they prepare to make a centre-forward investment at the end of the current campaign.
Sheth, in an interview with GIVEMESPORT, asserted that United might have the upper hand in luring Osimhen, who has expressed a desire to play in the Premier League.
Victor Osimhen has previously stated that one of his dreams is to play in the Premier League, and he is working hard to try and realize that dream, the man said. If so, Man United might have an advantage over another European club in its pursuit of a player like Victor Osimhen.
Must purchase
Under manager Erik ten Hag, United has had a successful season, but they still lag behind their main competitors when it comes to the center-forward position.
Despite scoring 28 goals this season, Marcus Rashford has excelled from the left flank with little help from the team’s strikers.
Only 7 goals have been scored this season by Anthony Martial, who has spent the majority of the season being treated for a variety of injuries.
After joining on loan from Burnley in the middle of the season, Wout Weghorst was thought to be the answer, but with only two goals so far, the Dutchman has looked out of sorts.
Osimhen could be the solution for United, who obviously need an elite performer up front.
With 26 goals from 31 games, the £88 million star has excelled for Napoli. His work rate and commanding presence in the box would make him the ideal choice for ten Hag.
The Nigerian superstar enjoys applying pressure to rivals in the final third. Osimhen’s desire to play in the Premier League, as Sheth noted, may give United the advantage in the transfer market.
