It’s been quite the turnaround for Victor Osimhen in the last year or so; the centre-forward has gone from enduring a torrid time at Wolfsburg to being top scorer for LOSC Lille with 18 goals in 36 games this season. In between was an encouraging loan spell at Sporting Charleroi which revived his career that threatened to wither away following inadequate game time in Germany.
The forward’s stock has risen considerably since his move to Ligue 1, and the top brass in the major European leagues have noticed; there have been transfer links to Barcelona, Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal in recent months, a turn of events that demonstrates the 21-year-old’s progress this term.
