Tottenham and Chelsea are two of the sides interested in signing Lille striker Victor Osimhen, according to a report from Sky Sports.
Osimhen has scored 12 goals in 23 games for Lille this season and is apparently attracting plenty of attention.
Liverpool have also been linked with a move for the forward, who Chelsea fans will likely remember as he scored against the Blues in the Champions League earlier this season.
The Nigerian is reportedly happy at Lille and has no intentions of leaving in January, with Sky reporting that he’s only likely to leave if a club comes in with an offer that is simply too good for the French side to turn down.
With Olivier Giroud seemingly heading for the Stamford Bridge exit door, and with Jose Mourinho apparently keen to add another attack to his squad, bother Chelsea and Spurs will continue monitoring the 20-year-old.

It’s hard to argue with Osimhen’s goal record this season and Chelsea have seen first-hand how good he can be. The fact that Liverpool and Spurs seem keen on the Nigerian star could be an indication of how good he is and Chelsea do need another striker, especially if Giroud leaves.
Depending on the price, Osimhen could be a good option but it would make more sense to get him in January rather than the summer as the Blues will need all the help they can get to secure a top-four finish.
