Newcastle may return for Nigerian striker in the summer
The 23-year-old's exploits are said to have attracted interest from a number of Premier League suitors, with Newcastle, in particular, finding themselves heavily linked in January
After a failed bid to him during the January transfer window, Newcastle will reportedly make a return for Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen this summer.
The Magpies were linked with the Nigerian goal-getter in January and now sources in Italy are claiming the Premier League side are expected to renew their pursuit of him come the end of the current campaign.
A stellar season in France with Lille saw Osimhen come to prominence and subsequently earn a move to Napoli for a club-record fee in the region of £60million in the summer of 2020. Since then, the striker has continued to see his profile soar across Europe and this campaign he's struck 13 goals and registered four assists in 24 appearances.
The 23-year-old's exploits are said to have attracted interest from a number of Premier League suitors, with Newcastle in particular finding themselves heavily linked in January. The Magpies significantly strengthened during the winter window but only opted to add Chris Wood to their forward line.
With the backing of their Saudi Arabian owners, a similar spending splurge is expected in the summer as they seek to transform the Tyneside club into a title-chasing force. The consensus in Italy is that Newcastle will return for Osimhen as they look to add a reputable striker to their ranks
