Victor Osimhen to Man United transfer: Cristiano Ronaldo swap, Tottenham advantage, Arsenal blow

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur look set to be handed a major blow in the race to sign Victor Osimhen. The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to north London in the past, but the striker could soon be penning a deal with Manchester United.

Osimhen, who sees his contract at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona expire in 202r, featured 27 times for Luciano Spalletti's side in the Serie A last season, directly contributing towards 19 goals. His impressive displays guided the Italian giants to a third-place finish in the league - just five points title contenders Inter Milan.

And, Osimhen has started the new season as well as he finished the last, scoring twice in three games to send Napoli top of the table. But, while he may continue to prove himself as one of Europe's leading strikers, his contract expires in two years and, naturally, his market value will gradually decrease until it's too late.
