Victor Osimhen is poised to become Nigeria’s most expensive footballer if he makes the much anticipated move to Napoli, Kaduna Informant reports. Osimhen’s exploits with Lille last season, when he scored 18 goals and provided six assists in 38 games across all competitions, has seen several clubs launch mammoth bids to sign him this summer, with Napoli already tabling €60m for the Nigerian and have offered a reported salary of €2.5m per annum in a four-year deal. He was voted the club’s player of the year and also scooped the prize for the Best African Player in Ligue 1. The deal, if completed by Tuesday (today), will eclipse the £38m that Everton paid Arsenal for Alex Iwobi last season.

Chelsea’s form since the football’s return has been largely positive, winning four of their first five games, but with Manchester United closing the gap between the two sides quickly, the Blues will desperately need all three points on Tuesday. Palace will b...
