It is believed the Italian tactician already spoke with Napoli chief Fabio Paratici about the possibility of the Nigerian striker to replacing Kane.

Spurs are reportedly willing to offer a figure of around €85m (£74m) for the 23-year-old striker, with Conte believed to be stunned by Osimhen’s prowess in front of goal.

After moving to Italy from French club Lille in the summer of 2022, Osimhen has been in breathtaking form. He scored ten Serie A goals in his first season and another 14 goals last season.
