Lille manager Christophe Galtier announced that Arsenal target Victor Osimhen will be leaving the club this summer along with team-mate Gabriel.

Osimhen, 21, has been in stellar form for the Ligue 1, with the forward scoring 13 goals in 25 appearances as Lille finished the 2019/20 season in fourth place.

Lille owner Gerard Lopez revealed at the end of May that 'multiple offers' have been made for the Nigerian, but Galtier has confirmed that him and Napoli target Gabriel will be moving on.

The Lille manager said in a press conference: 'Regarding Victor and Gabriel, yes, I've known for a long time that they're leaving.'

'They're working hard with us in the meantime. We're working on the players who are currently here and those likely to replace them.

'Of course, the club is working to replace him [Osimhen].'

Osimhen's superb season for Lille has made him one of the most sought-after young attackers in Europe, with clubs in France, Italy and England interested in the 21-year-old.

However, Lille are expected to hold out for a large transfer fee for the Nigerian this summer, with owner Lopez revealing that a fee similar to the £72million paid by Arsenal for Nicolas Pepe last year would be enough to secure his signature.

Osimhen only signed for the Ligue 1 club last year from VfL Wolfsburg, after impressing on loan at Belgian side Charleroi in the 2018/19 season.

Arguably Nigeria's best striker since Rashidi Yekini.
Works very hard on the pitch too.
Good player.

This money is too small for this raising youngster maybe because he is a black man,
Unlike Jadon sancho, Ansu fati and jao Felix who's are all highly rated with $120.
