Transfer: Lille Ready To Release Osimhen, 2 Others

Fans have been reacting on social media over reports that Lille FC are ready to let three of its players joine English Premier League.

Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to the reported news that Lille are looking to sell some of their most-prized assets this summer and have offered Spurs the chance to sign Victor Osimhen, Mike Maignan and Boubakary Soumare.

According to Soccer Link, Lille are looking to sell some of their most-prized assets this summer and have offered the trio of goalkeeper Mike Maignan, midfielder Boubakary Soumare and striker Victor Osimhen to Tottenham Hotspur.

The Sporting Director of the French club Luis Campos is good friends with Spurs boss Jose Mourinho and is hoping the Portuguese will be keen on buying any or all of the trio.

Lille have slapped a huge asking price on Osimhen, claiming that an English side have already offered £72 million for his signature in a bid to drive his fees up.

It’s the same tactic they used last summer prior to selling Nicolas Pépé to Arsenal and they are hoping it will force Tottenham and other suitors into action.

The North London giants want to boost their striking department this summer as they look to add quality depth, but it remains to be seen if chairman Daniel Levy will break the bank for one.

Osimhen recently backed the decision to cancel the 2019/2020 French Ligue 1 season.

Anaedoonline.com reported that French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced the cancellation of the Ligue 1 season last month because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Paris Saint- Germain were later declared Ligue 1 champion by France’s Ligue de Football Professionnel.

PSG was 12 points above second-placed Marseille at the top of the table when the season was suspended on March 13.
