Nigerian Forward Victor Osimhen is on the verge of becoming Nigeria’s most expensive footballer if he makes the move to Napoli.
the 21-year-old lille forward has since arrived in Italy for talks with the Serie A club.
However, the Super Eagles striker is yet to put pen to paper on a four-year deal that will see him earn around €2.5m per year.
Victor’s exploits with Lille last season, when he scored 18 goals and provided six assists in 38 games across all competitions, has seen several clubs launch mammoth bids to sign him this summer, with Napoli already tabling €60m for the Nigerian and have offered a reported salary of €2.5m per annum in a four-year deal.
He was voted the club’s player of the year and also scooped the prize for the Best African Player in Ligue 1.
The deal is expected to be completed this week, and if successful will surpass the £38m that Everton paid Arsenal for Alex Iwobi last season.
