In their Friday edition, Het Nieuwsblad has a big article on Victor Osimhen and a potential transfer this summer, with Southampton and Watford getting a mention.
The 20 year old is owned by Wolfsburg and has spent the season on loan at Charleroi. It’s believed the player could be sold for €15m this summer, and that would present a huge profit for the Belgian club.
When agreeing the deal with Wolfsburg they included a buying option of €3.5m, which will almost certainly be used.
Then, they can sell him on and seriously improve the club’s financial situation. AC Milan are said to have made a €12m offer in January, which was knocked back.
Now, Lille, Stuttgart, Watford and Southampton are ‘in the line’ to sign the player. The German club are halfway through a relegation play-off against second division Union Berlin.
Osimhen has scored 19 goals this season in 35 matches, a brilliant return.
The season before he made 13 appearances for Wolfsburg and failed to score once, but it was mainly brief substitute chances.
