Victor Osimhen

Victor Osimhen may become Nigeria’s most expensive footballer, as his move to Napoli draws close.

DAILY POST had reported that the 21-year-old has since arrived in Italy for talks with the Serie A club.

However, the Super Eagles striker is yet to put pen to paper on a four-year deal that will see him earn around €2.5m per year.

Napoli are offering Lille €60m for Osimhen, who netted 18 goals for the Ligue 1 side in his debut season.

The deal is expected to be completed this week and it would see Osimhen surpassing Alex Iwobi as the most expensive Nigerian player.
