Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen is among the list of strikers Manchester United want to sign for their manager Ruben Amorim.

Man United have been linked with the Nigeria international this summer.

Osimhen is on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli and the 26-year-old is expected to leave the Serie A side on a permanent transfer this summer transfer window.

He scored his 26th goal in the Turkish top-flight league on Friday as they defeated İstanbul Başakşehir 2-0.

The goal ensured Osimhen now has 37 goals in all competition for Galatasaray this season.

The match against İstanbul Başakşehir was Osimhen’s final game for Galatasaray this season as his loan deal expires this summer.

However, as reported by the Sun UK, Osimhen is among the five strikers Man United are targeting ahead of Amorim’s imminent squad overhaul.

The other four strikers are Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting Lisbon), Liam Delap (Ipswich Town),
Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Moise Kean (Fiorentina).

Meanwhile, Delap is close to joining Man United’s Premier League rivals Chelsea.
