Manchester United who are Premier League campaigners are reportedly ready to break the bank in the summer for the signing of Nigerian and Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen on the other hand is the shining light in the Serie A as the Nigerian keeps pumping the goals for Napoli in which he is currently the leading scorer with 16 goals.

According to a report on Daily Post, the Old Trafford board believe that bringing Osimhen to the Premier League would be of help to their squad.

What are they saying?

Sports Brief spoke with Nigerian sports reporter, Fisayo Dairo, who stated emphatically that he wants Osimhen to leave Napoli at the end of the ongoing season.

Statement made by Dairo

''He should leave in the summer if Aurelio de Laurentiis (Napoli President) releases him because I know he will surely milk the situation to get huge amount of money on Osimhen.
''That said, Osimhen has my blessing to go anywhere outside Italy, to either England or Spain. Manchester United, Chelsea or even Real Madrid, I'm fine with it. He has already destroyed the Serie A, by the end of this season, he would have become the highest scoring African ever in the league so he should leave for bigger challenges and reputation enhancement.''

Osimhen wants to win UCL

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen set winning the Champions League as main target for him at Serie A giants, Napoli, following an impressive season they are currently having.

The former Lille striker is the man of the moment in Italy considering the fact that he is leading the goalscoring chart and his team are also topping the League standings.

Osimhen has really justified that he is worth the millions Napoli paid Lille for his signature.
