And numerous Premier League clubs are sure to be interested if he’s on the move this winter.

Chelsea are in desperate need of a new striker and have earmarked a No9 for the January transfer window.

They are also looking at Ivan Toney but are aware the Brentford striker favours a move to rivals Arsenal.

The Gunners could be interested in Osimhen too, with super-fan Piers Morgan urging Mikel Arteta to make a move.

Manchester United are another club who were strongly linked with the Nigerian over the summer.

Erik ten Hag was keen on a move for Harry kane but in the end United stumped up £72million for Rasmus Hojlund.

However the chance to sign Osimhen might be too tempting, as he has 62 goals in 107 games for Napoli.

And Tottenham are in the market for a direct replacement for Harry Kane after his move to Bayern Munich in the summer.

Although they have started the season well under new boss Ange Postecoglou, Spurs are still missing a target man.

And they have the bulk of the £104m fee from Bayern still to spend.

Newcastle could be interested too as they look to make a real impact in the Champions League.

And they reportedly made a bid last January but it was turned down.

And Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has always shown he’s ready to enter the market for an exciting new forward.

Osimhen, 24, fired the Italians to Serie A title glory with 26 goals last term.

But Napoli have not started the new campaign well, winning just two of their opening five matches.

Their last match was a disappointing 0-0 draw at Bologna.

Osimhen, who missed a penalty, was left fuming after being dragged off by boss Rudi Garcia.

He apologised for his behaviour afterwards.

But a row is brewing after Napoli posted several videos to social media appearing to mock Osimhen.

A now-deleted clip showed the forward demanding a penalty against Bologna with the caption “Gimme penalty please” before going on to miss it.

Another video bizarrely compared Osimhen to a coconut, with Napoli yet to acknowledge either clip.

And the hitman is now considering legal action, with his agent Robert Calenda tweeting a response.

He said: “What happened today on Napoli’s official profile on the TikTok platform is not acceptable.

“A video mocking Victor was first made public and then, but now belatedly, deleted.

“A serious fact that causes very serious damage to the player and adds to the treatment that the boy is suffering in the last period between media trials and fake news.

“We reserve the right to take legal action and any useful initiative to protect Victor.”

Osimhen’s time at Napoli could now be coming to an end, with the ace deleting all mention of the club from his social media accounts bar one photograph on Instagram.
