Odion Ighalo, a former striker for Manchester United, has reportedly expressed interest in signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli, who is in desperate need of an offensive boost for the Old Trafford stumbling giants.
Several European teams have expressed interest in the Nigerian 24-year-old as a result of his superb play, including United, Chelsea, PSG, Liverpool, and Real Madrid.
The Nigerian is United boss Erik ten Hag’s top transfer target for the next summer.
In 21 league games for the Parthenopeans in 2022–23, the leading scorer in Serie A has tallied 19 goals and three assists.

In a video chat with Sky Sports, Al Hilal striker Ighalo believes Osimhen’s style of football is a perfect match for United and urged him to sign for the Red Devils, noting that he would form a perfect partnership with Marcus Rashford.
“I think it’s a good fit. Having Osimhen and Rashford will cause any defender panic,” Ighalo told Sky Sports.
“If Osimhen asks me for my advice and what he should do, I’d advise him to go join Manchester United because it’s the biggest club.
“I think he would fit into Manchester United so well.”
The Serie A top goals scorer, who was in Rome on Monday to pick the award for the Foreign Athlete of The Year in Italy, recently spoke about his dream of playing in the Premier League, but would like to deliver the Scudetto for Napoli fans.
“A lot of people worldwide consider the Premier League as the best and strongest league,” Osimhen said.
“I’m in one of the best leagues in the world, which is the Italian Serie A.
“Of course, I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League someday, but it’s a process and I just want to keep on this momentum.”
