Victor Osimhen Transfer Targeted by Man Utd

Manchester United have identified Victor Osimhen as a key transfer target this summer.

The Red Devils are keen to bolster their attacking options with the Nigerian international.

Victor Osimhen has caught the eye in Turkey since completing his switch from Napoli to Galatasaray.

The 27-year-old netted 22 goals in 33 outings across all competitions last season.

He also registered eight assists and contributed seven goals and three assists in his 10 Champions League appearances.

Galatasaray are unlikely to sanction a departure, and will hold out for a substantial fee.

Osimhen's £13m annual wages could prove a stumbling block for any potential suitor.

Manchester United currently have Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee as their senior striking options.

But Zirkzee has been strongly linked with a departure this summer, suggesting United will need to bring in at least one additional striker.

Former Premier League goalkeeper **Ben Foster** has argued that securing the right striker could prove key to their chances of mounting a title challenge next season.

He told the Manchester Evening News that somebody like Robert Lewandowski could make a big difference.

Atletico Madrid have made an approach for the Nigerian international, but face a battle with United, who have pinpointed Osimhen as a key objective in the forthcoming transfer window.

The Spanish media outlet AS reports that talks have been held for a potential move.

Victor Osimhen's future remains uncertain, with several clubs interested in his services.

Galatasaray shelled out a fee of £64.8million to make his deal permanent last summer.

The Nigerian striker has been in impressive form since his move to Turkey.
