Nigerian super striker Victor Osimhen could be leaving Italian Serie A side, Napoli, in the January transfer as Manchester United, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are said to be interested in him.

Osimhen has been able to win the hearts of Napoli fans thanks to his brilliant performances since he moved to Italy from French side Lille.

Napoli chiefs were convinced by his goal-scoring form at Lille, which made them pay a mega amount to sign the Super Eagles striker.

According to the reports on GOAL and Fijaches, Manchester United are desperate to invest further in their attack and sees Osimhen as an ideal option.

Arsenal and Bayern Munich are also intent on luring him away from Serie A in the near future.

Speaking exclusively to Sports Brief on the interest of Man United, Arsenal and Bayern Munich for Osimhen, Kwara United coach Azeez Mohammed explained that he would love the Nigerian to join the Red Devils.

''Manchester United will be a good place for Victor to go and that is if Napoli are ready to release. Old Trafford will be a place for him to grow and score more goals.''

Osimhen runs out of dressing room

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Victor Osimhen was spotted running to greet Super Eagles teammate Ogenyi Onazi, just few minutes after scoring the winner for Napoli against Bologna in the Serie A.

Napoli staged a big comeback on Sunday evening, 16 October, as they defeated visiting Bologna 3-2. Osimhen scored the winner in the second half of the game.

The tie was a challenging one for Osimhen and his teammates. They were made to labour by the visitors, before they got the win which sent them to the top of the table.

Osimhen, who recently recuperated from an injury, netted the winning goal for Napoli against Bologna in the 69th minute.
