Victor Osimhen addresses future amid Manchester United links (Manchester Evening News)

Man Utd are expected to land a big-money striker in the summer with Victor Osimhen a point of serious interest.

Napoli's sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, has also recently admitted that any talks over a fresh deal will be put on the back burner while his side fight for a first Serie A title since 1990. At the end of the season, I will sit down with my agents and discuss everything. I will also be in talks with the club. But Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy's stubbornness is well known and despite his striker entering the final year of his contract come June, a reported unwillingness to sell could force [Ten Hag](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag) to move down the list. The striker's current contract runs until 2025, with speculation growing that Luciano Spalletti's side could cash in while their star's stock is highest. Two assured finishes took the Nigerian international to 23 for the season, his form sparking rumours of a big-money move.

Arsenal was a good option but it wasn’t the best at the time. Midfielder, probably a winger, let’s also see what they’re going to do in the defensive positions. Now, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has reported that Arsenal's transfer priorities likely lie away from Osimhen considering the north London club already have a plethora of centre-forwards at their disposal. “I had a lot of options. This has naturally led to some interest from the biggest clubs in world football, from Chelsea to Arsenal and Tottenham to Manchester United all linked. It is also claimed that Napoli value their star centre-forward at around £133million, which would be a British transfer record. "The reality, we’ve had Arsenal links in the past 24 hours, but from what I understand Arsenal have different kinds of priorities at this moment on the market. Discussing the ex-forward, Osimhen said: "Didier Drogba is my idol. I will also be in talks with Napoli. At the end of the season, I will sit down with my agents and discuss. The striker has continued his form from the early parts of the season to put up figures only bettered by Manchester City's Erling Haaland. I am incredibly grateful to Napoli.

Victor Osimhen has addressed his future as he continues to pile in the goals for Napoli.

The Blues are set to hunt down a striker this summer with Graham Potter's side lacking in firepower, which has left them loitering in mid-table. One of the most prestigious National Hunt Meetings of the calendar is not to be missed…and we’ve got a bumper week of amazing content and great reader offers. The Blues have sorely lacked goals this season and are rumoured to be in the hunt for Osimhen, who continues to keep his cards close to his chest. Napoli have established themselves as the dominant force in Serie A this term and Osimhen's goals look set to fire them towards a first league title since 1989/90. The player himself has hinted that Stamford Bridge could be his preferred destination, claiming that he 'loved' to watch Drogba while growing up. The Azzurri took a big gamble in 2020 by making Osimhen the most expensive African player of all time after just one full season with Lille.
