Jose Mourinho targets bumper deal for Super Eagles forward in January
Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has reportedly emerged as a surprise transfer target for newly appointed Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese tactician replaced Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham on Wednesday, November 20, and is expected to battle West Ham United on Saturday, November 23, in his first game in charge.
According to a report by Jeunes Footeux, Mourinho is keen to table an impressive deal for Lille during the January transfer window, in a move to bring Osimhen to the English topflight.
Mourinho remains upbeat the 20-year-old forward can partner Harry Kane up front in Spurs squad next year.
