Done DEAL: Napoli confirm deal for Chelsea top target

According to Sky Sport, Napoli have confirmed the signing of Victor Osimhen from Lille, putting an end to Premier League move for the Nigerian.

Victor Osimhen delighted in a fine debut season with Lille in Ligue 1, and has immediately earned the next move in his career.

Reports recommended Victor Osimhen was a target for the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

In any case, Napoli had all the earmarks of being the main competitors from the start, and now they have their man.

In spite of cases that Tottenham Hotspur were attempting to hijack the deal, Napoli have signed Victor Osimhen on a five-year contract. The fee is purportedly in the area of €60m.
