Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has emerged as a potential target for Newcastle United, adding another Premier League contender to the mix as speculation over his future intensifies. The 25-year-old Nigerian international is currently on loan at Galatasaray but could return to Italy in January, sparking renewed interest from top European clubs.
Osimhen was heavily linked with Chelsea during the summer transfer window, but Napoli’s high asking price scuppered any deal.
Instead, the striker made a late move to Turkish side Galatasaray on a temporary basis, leaving his long-term future unresolved.
According to *Football Insider*, Newcastle United is now monitoring Osimhen’s situation, viewing him as a transformative addition to their attacking lineup.
With his ability to consistently deliver goals and contribute to team play, the former Lille star is seen as a game-changing prospect for the Magpies.
Just months ago, Osimhen was regarded as one of the finest strikers in world football, playing a pivotal role in Napoli’s Serie A triumph last season.
His explosive pace, clinical finishing, and aerial prowess have made him a sought-after player, and any move to the Premier League would undoubtedly bolster Newcastle’s attacking options.
However, prying Osimhen away from Napoli in January is expected to be a complex endeavor.
Reports indicate that the Italian club remains firm in its valuation of the Nigerian forward, a figure that could present a significant hurdle for interested parties.
While Newcastle has shown ambition in recent transfer windows, whether they can meet Napoli’s demands remains to be seen.
For now, Chelsea and Newcastle appear poised for a potential bidding war should the opportunity to sign Osimhen arise.
Osimhen’s future is likely to dominate headlines in the coming months as clubs weigh the financial and competitive implications of securing one of Europe’s most highly-rated strikers.
