According to reports, Nigerian pro striker Victor Osimhen will be ready to finalize on his move to Napoli on Tuesday, however, he is waiting for English clubs Manchester United and Arsenal to come for him.


The Nigeria international met with President Aurelio De Laurentiis of SSC Napoli and was shown the facilities of the club as well as taken round the city.

The Lille attacker was taken on the tour to make him accept the move to Napoli as he still remains unconvinced about playing in Italy.

Osimhen has promised to give his response to Napoli on Tuesday, according to Calciomercato.it and sources in Nigeria.

The striker is believed to be expecting Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal to come with offers for him as he would be the first choice to replace Gabonese pro striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang if he doesn't sign a new contract with the Gunners.

However, moves from these Premier League outfits might not happen considering the €50m plus price tag placed on the striker by LOSC Lille.

Both publicly and personally, President of Lille Gerard Lopez has advised Osimhen to accept the Napoli proposal.
