Premier League giants Liverpool have joined the transfer race for Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, as they sent scouts to watch the Napoli man during the international period.

The Nigeria international netted 26 goals in 32 league appearances to lead Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years.
The likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with Osimhen, and it now appears that Liverpool are also interested in securing his signature.
According to British publication, The Sun, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp sent one of the club’s scouts to watch Osimhen in action for Nigeria.

Should they decide to pursue a move for Osimhen, it could take a bid in excess of £100m to prise him away from Napoli.
The Italian club are still hopeful of extending the Nigerian’s contract, which currently runs until the summer of 2025.
