Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham All Monitoring Osimhen

​Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are all understood to be keeping a close eye on Lille forward Victor Osimhen.

The 20-year-old, who joined Lille during the summer from Charleroi in Belgium, has enjoyed a fantastic start to life in France. He has racked up 12 goals and four assists in 23 appearances, and he even got himself on the scoresheet against Chelsea in the Champions League.

The Nigerian sits third in the Ligue 1 scoring charts and the three sides are on the lookout for attacking reinforcements.

Chelsea is looking to bring in some competition for Tammy Abraham, and they are considering plenty of names.

Liverpool are eager to add more depth in attack, although the £7.25m arrival of RB Salzburg’s Takumi Minamino suggests they may have got the job done early.

Finally, ​Spurs want to find someone to cover for ​Harry Kane who, as it stands, is the club’s only senior forward. Young Troy Parrott has featured but there are doubts over whether he would be ready for a long-term role in the side right now.

As a result, Osimhen appears to have emerged as a potential option, but Sky Sports News claim that a January move is unlikely.

Lille are always happy to sell their top players for the right price, just as they did with Nicolas Pépé’s £72m move to ​Arsenal in the summer, but they would prefer to wait until the summer as they do not want to disrupt their own campaign.

However, they may be tempted into doing business if they receive a January offer which is too good to turn down.

Such an offer would have to be huge. Osimhen is one of the most exciting young strikers around these days, and he remains under contract until 2024, so Lille need not sell for cheap.

Given the likely cost of this deal, it would come as a huge surprise to see any of the three sides pursue Osimhen in January, although a summer ​transfer is not out of the question.
