Victor Osimhen remains one of the hottest properties on the market and reports indicate he could make a move to England this summer.

Several teams across Europe could do with a striker with the quality of Victor Osimhen, and there will be plenty of chatter about his future between now and the end of the season.

The 26-year-old is currently on loan at Galatasaray but is unlikely to make the move permanent.

According to Napoli Magazine, there's a 95% chance he'll leave Napoli for good, with Manchester United being touted as a possible destination.

The Red Devils are desperate for a reliable goal-scorer, with their current strikers Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund managing just five league goals between them this season.

Osimhen, on the other hand, has been in scintillating form, netting 20 goals and providing five assists in 25 appearances for Galatasaray.

United are reportedly willing to shell out around 70-75 million euros for Osimhen's services, but they'll face competition from Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain.

If they can pull off the signing, Osimhen would undoubtedly be a game-changer for Ruben Amorim's attack.

Osimhen has led Galatasaray's attack in Mauro Icardi's absence and despite their Europa League exit, the Turkish giants are still on track to lift the league title.
