Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen to have Al Hilal medical TODAY ahead of blockbuster move to Saudi Pro League

Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen is on the brink of completing a move to Saudi Pro League giants Al Hilal this summer.

The 26-year-old forward, who spent the past season on loan at Turkish champions Galatasaray, is expected to leave Serie A side Napoli in the coming days.

Despite being linked with top European clubs including Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Manchester United, Al Hilal has emerged as the frontrunner and is now close to sealing the transfer.

The Saudi outfit is keen to strengthen its squad ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup, which kicks off later this month in the United States.

Osimhen is scheduled to undergo a medical today, a key step toward finalising the move.

Upon completion, he will join Al Hilal officials currently in France for an official unveiling before flying out to Saudi Arabia.

The prolific forward netted an impressive 37 goals in 41 appearances during his loan spell at Galatasaray, underlining the attacking firepower he brings to his prospective new club.
