Victor Osimhen, Galatasaray's prolific Nigerian striker, has attracted interest from two Premier League giants as the summer transfer window approaches. According to BBC reports, Tottenham Hotspur have added the 25-year-old to their shortlist as they look to reinforce their attacking options for next season, joining Manchester United in the race for his signature.

Manchester United have been tracking Osimhen for some time and are reportedly preparing an offer in the region of 100 million euros. However, Galatasaray are adamant about keeping their star forward. The Istanbul club sees Osimhen as a cornerstone of their project and has no intention of selling, regardless of the fee. His contract runs until 2029, giving Galatasaray a strong negotiating position.

Osimhen's numbers speak for themselves: 59 goals and 16 assists in 74 appearances for the Turkish side, directly contributing to 75 goals. That form has only intensified the interest from England. Tottenham, meanwhile, are also monitoring AC Milan's Portuguese attacker Rafael Leao, who offers versatility across the forward line. But it is Osimhen who sits at the top of their list, and the coming weeks could see official moves emerge.
