Lille striker Victor Osimhen has reportedly entered into negotiations with Napoli, having made up his mind to join the Serie A side rather than Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

The Nigeria international has decided to team up with the Parthenopeans and the deal could be completed as early as Thursday.

The forward has been linked with a number of European clubs following his eye-catching performances for Christophe Galtier’s men in the 2019-20 season.

Napoli have, however, been leading the race to secure his signature and the striker was believed to be close to securing a move to the side last month but his agent raised the issue of racism in Italy.

Senegal international Kalidou Koulibaly recently revealed the Super Eagles striker called him to make an enquiry about racial discrimination in the country and he advised him on steps to take if he eventually joins the Naples side.

Goal gathered the 21-year-old forward recently changed his agent which led to the delay in wrapping up his transfer to the Stadio San Paolo outfit.

The striker is now close to sealing an €81 million move to Napoli which is subject to successful medical examinations, having been swayed by manager Gennaro Gattuso’s genuine interest in him.

According to L'Equipe, Osimhen could complete his move to the side on Thursday and it is believed the striker will earn seven times more money than he currently earns at Lille.

Last summer the French outfit sold Ivory Coast international Nicolas Pepe to Arsenal for £72 million but Osimhen’s deal could be the best ever for the Mastiffs.

The forward joined the Stade Pierre-Mauroy outfit last summer from Belgian side Sporting Charleroi and impressed in his debut campaign with the side.

The 21-year-old scored 18 goals and provided six assists in 38 appearances across all competitions, winning the club’s Player of the Season award and the Marc Vivien Foe best Ligue 1 African Player prize in the process.

The forward burst into the limelight at the 2015 U17 World Cup in Chile, where he won the Golden Boot and Silver Ball awards to help Nigeria win the title.

The Ultimate Strikers Academy graduate, who currently has nine caps for the Super Eagles, will link up with Koulibaly if his transfer is successful.

He has pace, power and trickery. Perfect for Italian football. Pls go and compete with Immobile, Lukaku and co for the golden boot next season we know you can. This boy was given one opportunity and he took it with two hands. Kudos

One thing I came to realize in football like every other organization of people is that there are people who will never like you to grow. Those who your every credit alert brings sleeping nights to. Let your light shine. Well done, kid.

Gattuso will surely enjoy his agility, aggressiveness and quickness in poaching goals.

I need Napoli to knock Barcelona out of UCL, so they should do everything possible.

I hope he performs at Napoli , cos if u notice the gatusso style of football ,the strikers are always coming to play with the midfield and the rest of the team , the strikers are always involved heavily in teams play and team build up ....
Osihmen is not that kind of striker , he just needs the ball and he'll score ..
Maybe they'll adjust their style for him ..but this amount is so untrue and outrageous ...osihmen would move for 65m or less ..

They will use racism to frustrate his career in Italy. There is a systemic racism in Italian football; from fans to the management.

How's it outrageous? If you were in his shoes, and you hear or see something like this, how will you feel?

Osimhen is not a 6yard striker as you have described him, he has the ability to drop deep and effect play, probably you haven't watched him well.
