Osimhen gets deadline to decide future after holding Liverpool talks
Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League leaders reportedly opened talks with Lille over a deal to bring Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen from LOSC Lille to Liverpool last week.
Osimhen could make a decision about his future within the next fortnight, according to La Voix du Nord, after the Lille striker opened talks over a potential switch to Liverpool.
Just last summer, one of Ligue 1’s best clubs made Nicolas Pepe the biggest export in their history when they sold the Ivorian winger to Arsenal for a cool £72 million.
12 months on, Lille could be about to repeat the trick with a Nigerian centre-forward; although the global health crisis could reduce Osimhen’s price tag by a penny or two.

A powerful and aggressive number nine in the Didier Drogba mould, Osimhen would certainly add something different to Liverpool’s star-studded front line – a power tool amid the paintbrushes.
Interestingly, French news channel Le10 Sport reported last week that the 2019 Champions League winners have entered negotiations over a deal to bring the the former FIFA U17 World Cup winner to Anfield in a deal valued around £70 million.
