BREAKING: Manchester United Signs Victor Osimhen As Harry Kane Alternative?—Manchester United are insistent on adding a striker to their squad this summer and have lined up Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as an alternative to Harry Kane, should the Spurs striker decide to stay in north London.
Tottenham Hotspur believe they can convince the 29-year-old to remain at his boyhood club, so United have added Osimhen to their shortlist as a back-up option. The Nigerian striker is expected to leave Italy this summer after leading Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years.
The Mirror reveals: “England captain Kane, 29, has been United’s No. 1 transfer target but Tottenham are determined to fight to keep their club record goalscorer, even though he only has a year left on his current deal.
“Kane is unlikely to sign a new deal which means Tottenham run the risk of losing him for nothing next year but Spurs still believe they can play on his loyalty and persuade him to stay.
“[United] have been looking at Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos but Napoli striker Osimhen is also firmly on their radar. PSG have also been after Osimhen and Napoli are bracing themselves for huge bids this summer and the 24-year-old does favour a move to England if he leaves Serie A.”
