Nigeria international, Victor Osimehin is on the verge of leaving Stade Pierre Mauroy this summer with interest from top teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Napoli. The 21 years old Nigerian who came to Lille last July has made a great impact within the short term spent with 18 goals plus six assists.

LOSC Lille Coach, Galtier had made a hint on his imminent departure and also some other players while speaking to Canal plus.

“The day I reason that we recruit players to train them for other clubs, it will not last more than 10-15 minutes with my president and Luis saying” it’s time to stop ”. People stay focused on “they buy for X, they sell for Y. The player arrives, he stays 18 months or 12 months and then he leaves” but there is not a French club that may not sell except Paris Saint-Germain.

“Everyone else is forced to sell and everyone else is like us. But they don’t assume it. I am in this project there, with young players who come from all walks of life and I find that it is very fulfilling,” said Galtier.

He further stated ” I expect Gabriel, Osimhen or even Ikoné to leave? Yes, I integrated them into the team. I don’t want them to leave, but they will leave. I can’t veto a player’s departure, this is the project,”.

Lille have placed a price tag of £72m (€80m) on the 21-year-old.
