‘Breaking news’- Tottenham Hotspur big-name striker target has been left out of squad ahead of possible move to Spurs
In a sensational turn of events, Napoli’s star striker Victor Osimhen found himself excluded from the squad for their pre-season friendly against Girona. This exclusion has only intensified the swirling rumors of his potential departure from the club. Over the past few seasons, Osimhen has firmly established himself as one of the world’s premier strikers, netting an impressive 48 goals and providing nine assists. His prowess as a finisher in Serie A, a league renowned for its defensive rigidity, is undeniable.
The Nigerian international, formerly of Lille, has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. According to Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, the likelihood of Osimhen leaving Italy seems to increase with each passing day.
Currently, Tottenham’s striking options include Richarlison and Timo Werner. While both players possess undeniable talent, neither has demonstrated the consistent, clinical finishing that Osimhen offers. Richarlison, despite his abilities, has struggled to become a regular goal scorer. Werner, on loan for another season, has yet to recapture the form that made him a highly sought-after striker during his time at Leipzig. Introducing Osimhen into the mix would significantly bolster Spurs’ attacking lineup. His ability to score from virtually any position and create opportunities for his teammates is precisely the offensive dynamism the team requires. Moreover, securing a top-tier striker like Osimhen could provide much-needed stability and continuity in Tottenham’s attack. Napoli’s decision to leave such a pivotal player out of their squad suggests a potential shift in their future plans.
Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, must act swiftly to finalize this transfer before other clubs, particularly Chelsea, swoop in. Chelsea, known for their aggressive transfer strategies, would relish the chance to acquire a player of Osimhen’s caliber, and losing him to a direct London rival would be a significant setback for Spurs. Under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, Chelsea is poised to be active in the transfer market and may very well target Osimhen if Tottenham does not move quickly.
Osimhen’s potential impact on Tottenham would be monumental. His proven track record in Serie A, coupled with his physical attributes and technical skills, makes him an ideal candidate for the Premier League. His pace, strength, and finishing ability are perfectly suited to English football, and his signing would undoubtedly excite the Tottenham supporters, who have longed for a marquee acquisition to signal the club’s ambitions.
This opportunity to sign Osimhen should not be missed by Tottenham. The signals from Napoli, such as omitting him from their pre-season friendly, suggest that he could be on his way out. Spurs must prioritize this transfer to bring him to North London, ensuring they secure a striker who could transform their attacking fortunes.
