Tottenham enters the race for Victor Osimhen

Victor Osimhen's future could once again be written in the Premier League. According to the BBC, Tottenham are closely monitoring the Nigerian striker from Galatasaray and could make a move soon.

Manchester United also in the running

Again according to the BBC, Manchester United are also keeping a close eye on Osimhen's situation. The Red Devils appear even more determined than during their previous attempts, with the search for a world-class center-forward now a top priority in their transfer window.

An official offer from one of the two English clubs cannot be ruled out in the coming weeks. Having joined Galatasaray in the summer of 2025, Victor Osimhen is under contract until 2029.

Our analysis

Tottenham's interest is no coincidence. Since Harry Kane's departure, Spurs have been searching for a true number 9 capable of delivering a high goal tally over a season. With 41 goals and 10 assists in 52 matches during the 2025/26 campaign, Victor Osimhen ticks every box for a striker ready to make an immediate impact in the Premier League.

Sign Leao and Osimhen. Both huge statement signings for our attack which is just what we need.

Sell Sarr, Bergvall, Bentancur. Bring in Manu Kone.

For Galatasaray, the situation remains comfortable. The Nigerian international is under contract until 2029, giving the Turkish club significant leverage in negotiations. Unless an exceptional offer arrives, the management has no obligation to sell their top scorer, who is a central figure in their sporting project. The competition from Manchester United could also drive the price higher. One to watch.
