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.

Super Eagles playmaker, Alex Iwobi, has admitted they are waiting to see if the team would still play at the 2026 World Cup.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is optimistic of a potential lifeline from FIFA, after it submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Iwobi was asked by SuperSport if he would rather lift the AFCON 2025 trophy or qualify for the World Cup?

The 29-year-old, who played at the 2018 of the World Cup, replied: “I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.

“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have like in your career, a memorable moment.

“But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been. They would like to say ‘I want to go to the World Cup,’ so I can’t be selfish and say win the AFCON and for my teammates to not go to the World Cup. So it’s a tough one. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
