It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils are willing to pay a premium for Osimhen. He is likely to cost a club record figure of more than £100m for Manchester United. The Red Devils will also have to improve the other areas of their squad, so paying a premium for Osimhen could prove difficult.

Osimhen helped Napoli win the league title last season and scored 31 goals in all competitions. The Napoli star has 15 goals in all competitions this season and has proven to be a reliable goalscorer in one of Europe's top leagues.
A move to Manchester United or Chelsea will be an attractive proposition for him and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
