Napoli beat Arsenal and Chelsea to signing of Osimhen from Lille in £74m deal

The Serie A side fended off competition from Arsenal and Chelsea to sign the Nigeria international.

Osimhen was in demand after he scored 13 goals in 27 Ligue 1 appearances for Lille this season.

Napoli, who confirmed the signing on their official website, will finish in seventh place in Serie A, and will be involved in the Europa League next season.

Osimhen commenced his senior career at Wolfsburg and was sent out on loan to Charleroi, who then activated their option to sign him permanently prior to sanctioning a transfer to Lille last year.
The 21 year old has scored four goals in nine appearances for Nigeria.

Napoli forward Arkadiusz Milik has been linked with a move to Juventus, while there have been suggestions that Lille could replace Omishen with Rangers' Alfredo Morelos, although such a deal has yet to materialise.

Arsenal can afford him; £74m is on the high side for Arsenal now. Also the team already has Pepe, Auba, Saka, Laca........

74 million is way too much, even tho he can be really good in some matches he has not proved himself as concistent. That is the same reason why barca should not sign lautoro. They both are fantastic when they play at their best but they cant show it match in match out

I believe he is still under contract with Lille, hence the exorbitant price.

You know, you also have to factor in the "buy-out clause" thing in his contract.

Those things can get really high.

74 kini??! Please, someone should verify or authenticate this. That's too huge to believe!!! Nigga isn't worth that na. How much is Werner now worth??!

...And what do you mean by competition from Arsenal and Chelsea?!! When did Chelsea ever show interest??!

We all know Arsenal will never cough up even 25 million for a slightly upgraded Eddie Nketiah. grin

In all, I wish him well in Italy... May he help Napoli to the Scudetto, and keep them in the top 3 for years to come. He has a great deal to prove.
How much did Arsenal buy Nicolas Pepe from Lille?? undecided

Personally I don't like the idea of him going to Napoli, De Laurentiis is a very difficult man to negotiate with, only Daniel levy drives a harder bargain. If Osimhen becomes a success there (I have a strong feeling that he will),it will be hard for him to move to a bigger side.

Bigger side like??! tongue

Edo under the old Bendel used to be known as a sports power house. I recall how they used to produce Olympic boxers and sprinters from the Sports village at Afuze.

Raw unharnessed talents abound, there used to be a healthy competition between 2 sports administrators Brown Ebewele and a guy in Delta when the state was carved up into Edo and Delta over who will produce the best sportsmen and women.

See how everyone is scrambling
Brown Ebewele and Solomon Ogba. Both guys were ready to throw punches to see their teams win. Ogba went on to become AFN president but I'm not sure what became of Ebewele. It wasn't just Edo that was the powerhose under the old Bendel State, it was Edo and Delta. Sad that people don't seem to appreciate the role of sports these days. My favourite uncle growing up was known as 'Obi swimming pool' because he was a successful swimmer with the State's swimming team and went on to become the Chief swimming trainer for Chevron Ngr limited.

The National sports festival used to be argument about who gets the most medals between Edo and Delta while other states will be looking in amazement.

We need more Kamoru Usman and Osimhen from the old Bendel, let the state governments invest more on sports, many of those ladies leaving through dangerous means could have Blessing Okagbare our current best female sprinter with little investment

Now rivers state owns sports festival and female football

Okay sir... I see your point now.

However, 20+ goals for Napoli would be quite the achievement!!! He would be in demand faster than Covid-19 vaccine!!!

That won't be easy... Except Gattuso completely transforms that midfield and wings.

€50m not £74m
The add-ons could bring it to 74 million.

50 is what napoli is getting right now as cash.

Likely to be the 1 that will send Rapenaldo to Chinese league after Quagrilagera and Immobile
His competition is not eve Ronaldo. Ronaldo that has not won the golden boot since he came to the Serie A. We're talking about Quagrilagera and Immobile.

Bissaka has been the most consistent full back in the EPL for the past two seasons, coupled with his young age. The same can't be said for Osimhen. At best I would say he has unfulfilled potential.

so you mean 50million is ok for WanBisaka that won't see Barcelona,Madrid or Bayern first team shirt

Bros i still stand if Bisaka and Stones of mancity can be bought with that kinda money nothing is wrong with Osimhen deal

Osimen is about to become the highest gal scorer in Italy.

I hope so... It's been way too long since a Nigerian player ruled the headlines for such feats.

Almost beginning to look like Nigerians stopped playing football abroad after Odewinge retired!!!

Wrong figure. If they pay 74m pounds for Osimhen, that's daylight robbery by Lille. Not even during a pandemic.

The correct transfer fee is 50m Euros, that's about 45m pounds.
