Manchester United have reportedly entered pole position in the race to complete a deal for Napoli forward Victor Osimhen during this summer’s transfer window.
The 23-year-old striker has been in stung form for the Italian outfit during the 2021-22 campaign, contributing 16 goals and five assists in 28 appearances in all competitions.
He still has more than three years left on his contract, but there remains speculation surrounding his future.
Partenopei would allegedly be prepared to sell the striker in the upcoming transfer window if they received an offer somewhere in the region of £67m.
Arsenal were believed to be in pole position for the Nigeria international, while Newcastle United have also been linked with his services following their lucrative takeover.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Red Devils are leading the race for the 23-year-old frontman, having already started discussions with his representative Roberto Calenda.
