Victor Osimhen: Tottenham Reportedly Set to Rival Chelsea in the Race to Sign Super Eagles Striker

• Victor Osimhen is reportedly on two English sides' wishlists
• The Super Eagles star's deal with Napoli will expire in 2025
• Tottenham Hotspur want Osimhen to fill Harry Kane's place

English Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to rival another London side - Chelsea - for the signature of Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen.

The Nigerian international has been linked with a move to the Blues since last summer after his impressive performance for Napoli in the Serie A last season.

Osimhen led the Parthenopeans to the Italian league title last season after a 33-year wait and has picked up from where he left in the previous campaign this year.

The Super Eagles striker has scored six goals in eight league games this season.

Tottenham have been in search of a new striker since the departure of Harry Kane in the last summer transfer window, and are set to battle Chelsea for Osimhen's services, according to a report by Spurs Web, as per Soccernet.

The Blues' new manager, Mauricio Pochettino is said to be one of the big admirers of the striker but could miss out on signing the Nigerian international next summer, with a lot of top clubs monitoring his progress at Napoli.

Tottenham could also lose the battle to Chelsea and other top European clubs due to the huge transfer fee the defending Serie A champions are expected to request for the Super Eagles star.

Ange Postecoglou's side may decide instead to chase the signature of Brentford striker, Ivan Toney if they miss out on the Nigerian star, with Osimhen also making his preference for the Blues clear.
