A former Manchester United forward, Louis Saha, has stated that his dream signing would be Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen.

He scored 15 goals in 25 matches in all competitions for Italian club Napoli last season.

Osimhen netted 26 league goals, which was crucial as the Partenopei won the Scudetto during the 2022/2023 season.

He also went on to smash several records in Italy and become the first African to win the Golden Boot in a league season.

Amid uncertainty over his future, Saha believes the Nigerian international could be the missing player needed at the Old Trafford.

The Frenchman told GZone, as per Complete Sports:

“My dream summer signing would be Victor Osimhen from Napoli. He would really fit the bill at Old Trafford. If I were them, I’d be doing everything to try and get him from Napoli.

“I’d love to see him in a United shirt next season. His attitude, his work rate, he is so good in front of goal. He has a belief and confidence that reminds me of David Trezeguet or Ruud van Nistelrooy, strikers who attract the ball to their feet.

“Proper strikers are dying, but it’s easy to see that Osimhen is one of them.”

Osimhen keen to leave Napoli

Sports Brief earlier reported that Osimhen and Napoli are set to part ways as the Nigerian forward is reportedly determined to end his four-year stay with the Italian giants this summer.

Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, has reported that Osimhen is close to securing a move away from Naples, with his preferred destination being the English Premier League.

Osimhen, who still has one year left on his contract with Napoli, is expected to cost a whopping €120 million as the Italian club would accept nothing less than his release clause.
