Victor Osimhen has admitted he doesn't know what the future holds for him amid growing interest from Manchester United.
Osimhen was on target once again on Wednesday evening, his brace in Napoli's 3-0 Champions League second-leg win against Eintracht Frankfurt handing the Italian side a place in the quarter-final draw. Two assured finishes took the Nigerian international to 23 for the season, his form sparking rumours of a big-money move.
United's interest in signing a world-class striker this summer has been well documented, and MEN Sport understands Harry Kane has been earmarked as the main target. But Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy's stubbornness is well known and despite his striker entering the final year of his contract come June, a reported unwillingness to sell could force Ten Hag to move down the list.

And that may well take him to Naples and Osimhen, with the 24-year-old of interest across Europe. The striker's current contract runs until 2025, with speculation growing that Luciano Spalletti's side could cash in while their star's stock is highest.
"I don't know what the future holds," Osimhen told Sport1 after the win against Frankfurt on Wednesday. "I think I'm on the right track. At the end of the season, I will sit down with my agents and discuss everything. I will also be in talks with the club. I am incredibly grateful to Naples. We will find a good solution together."
Napoli's sporting director, Cristiano Giuntoli, has also recently admitted that any talks over a fresh deal will be put on the back burner while his side fight for a first Serie A title since 1990. Spalletti's men are currently 18 points clear at the top and all but guaranteed the scudetto.
"Right now they are guys who have many years of contract and there isn't one," Giuntoli said of Osimhen, Kvicha Kvaratskheila and Kim Min-jae. "We'll look into it further. probably this summer, we gave priority to those with short deadlines.
"Football is a world made up of great motivations. We were aware that we were forming an important team and we are sure we will be able to do so in the future as well."
