Tottenham leaders must pay big to secure Osimhen

Tottenham are firming as leaders in the race for Lille striker, Victor Osimhen.

Belgian media sources say Spurs head a queue of clubs in the battle for the Nigeria international, which include Chelsea and Liverpool.

Lille have set an initial massive asking price of €85m, though Spurs are hoping to talk that down with manager Jose Mourinho close to LOSC sporting director Luis Campos.

But Lille are pushing for top price as they will owe Charleroi a hefty cut of any sell-on fee for Osimhen.

Should he leave for Lille’s current price, at least €13m will be due Charleroi – just a year after they sold him to the French giants for €12m.
