Lille Owner Lopez: I Have Received Multiple Offers For Osimhen

Lille Owner Gerard Lopez says he has received multiple offers for Victor Osimhen this summer but it will take a fee close to the £72m Arsenal paid for Nicolas Pepe to land the Nigerian.

Osimhen, who scored 18 goals in his debut campaign in Ligue 1 has attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.

Clubs in Spain and Italy are also interested in the 21-year-old, who joined Lille last summer from Belgian Pro League club Sporting Charleroi for around £10m.

Lopez expects more offers for the striker, but stated that he will not be forced to sell on a cut-price deal amid the coronavirus crisis.

“There are multiple offers,’ Lopez told Sportsmail.

‘We turned down one English and one Spanish offer this January transfer window.

‘There is a wide array [this summer] and I wouldn’t want to give the names of the clubs who are bidding but what I can tell you is that there are multiple [offers]. There are three championships that have clubs that have bid for him.’
