According to a report from Italian news outlet TUTTOmercatoWEB, Liverpool have leapfrogged Napoli in the race to sign Lille star Victor Osimhen – resulting in many Reds flooding in reaction to the update.
Osimhen, who has bagged 18 goals in all competitions for the Ligue 1 outfit this season, attracting attention from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, is now at the centre of Liverpool’s interest as we gear up for our 2020/2021 Premier League title defence.
Could Liverpool sign Victor Osimhen?
Yes, get the deal done
No, far too expensive
The Nigerian, who has averaged more shots per game than the likes of Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino this campaign according to WhoScored, has impressed manager Jurgen Klopp enough to allegedly warrant a pursuit – with TuttoMercato claiming Liverpool are now in the lead for his signature.
Flocking to social media, plenty of fans have had their say – with some being optimistic over the potential ‘good news‘ while others are slightly more dismissive of the rumour.
