Premier League
Newcastle United is determined to strengthen its attack and has set its sights on Victor Osimhen, a Nigerian forward currently playing for Galatasaray on loan from Napoli. With the possible departure of Alexander Isak in the upcoming transfer window, the Magpies see Osimhen as the ideal replacement to maintain the team's offensive power. The Newcastle board has already initiated talks with the Italian club to understand the conditions for a potential transfer.
Osimhen, who has shown great form with eight goals and four assists in his first nine games in Turkey, has also attracted interest from other Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Chelsea. His goal-scoring ability and performance at Galatasaray have made the 25-year-old player a top target in England. However, Napoli has valued the striker at 75 million euros, a figure that could complicate the deal for some interested clubs.
Arsenal and Chelsea Also Tracking Osimhen
In addition to Newcastle’s interest, Arsenal is also considering Osimhen as an option to strengthen their attack, especially given the inconsistent performances of Gabriel Jesus and the versatile use of Kai Havertz in various positions. Meanwhile, Chelsea is in need of another top striker and sees the Nigerian international as a significant alternative to complement Nicolas Jackson.
Newcastle, seeking to fund Osimhen's signing with Isak’s sale, will face stiff competition in the market. Turkish clubs Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are also vying to strike a deal with the attacker, turning this pursuit into a high-stakes contest.
