Nicolo Schira: Napoli in very advanced talks to sign Victor Osimhen

According to reliable journalist and transfer expert, Nico Schira, Serie A giants Napoli are in advanced talks to sign Lille striker Victor Osimhen.

He has claimed that the 21-year-old is the first-choice striker of Napoli boss Gennaro Gattuso. The Italian club could lose top striker Arkadiusz Milik in the summer transfer window, and Napoli are eyeing Osimhen as a potential replacement.

Napoli are ready to offer him a five-year deal, and club chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis is working to reach an agreement to sign the player.

Lille manager Christophe Galtier has confirmed early this month that the highly-rated Nigerian forward will leave the club at the end of the season.
