French Ligue 1 side Lille has confirmed Liverpool's interest on top striker Victor Osimhen But says that the club would only let Osimhen leave for a high Price.

Lille in an official statement on the Club's Facebook handle stated that "In Lille, the revelation at the Beginning of the season, Victor Osimhen is wooed but a departure this winter seems unlikely because the LOSC wants to keep it. some Teams are already ready to try to recruit him this summer. This would be the case of Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp very Much appreciated the Nigerian Striker but it will have to make a very big offer for Lille to accept for a transfer, Only one year after his arrival in the North."


Victor Osimhen has been in top form this season, scoring 10 goals and bagging 3 assist in 18 games this season in Ligue 1.

A move to England seems very Unlikely this season as Lille wouldn't want to let their top scorer leave as they battle champions league qualification. Liverpool on the other hand is packed with a lot of stars and a place in the starting XI looks very Unlikely for the 21 years old with the likes of Salah, Mane,Firmino, Origi , Shaqiri and the Latest Inclusion Minamino in the team.

Do you think a transfer to Liverpool would be good for Osimhen?

Let him stay back at lille, liverpools squad is filled with quality forwards

playing with top players like mane,salah will improve him but let him stay in lille

it would be nice heading for a bigger but does he have the qualities to make the bench let alone tha first team?

The kid already making waves

he won't get a starting spot

He better stay put. He should ask Iheanacho what happened to him when he rushed to Man City.

Not true. He had options of playing for average teams and rise to big teams from there but he rushed to Man City because of money and influence.

Even Portuguese top team like Porto that went for him would've been better than English top team...Man City. Crystal Palace etc went for him.

What i remembered is that after the under17 world cup the only team that we all heard that had interest in him was city, while Isaac success was Granada and taiwo awoniyi was Liverpool

Liverpool squad is over complete, even the bench. He should not even think of going there if he wants to play actively

fact!!

he has Feminho and Origi to compete with ... i think he has the quality ... Feminho hast done anything spectacular this season . SuperMane and MoSalah has kept the team going ....

Liverpool is not planning to use him immediately rather they want to secure him, loan him out and recall him when needed.
It's a strategy to grab him b4 other rivals do
