Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has previously turned down approaches from Premier League clubs amid Manchester United's interest in the striker's signature.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News , the 23-year-old, who has netted nine goals in 13 matches this season, is of interest to the Reds as they draw up a long list of targets to become the new face of their forward line next year. The club is desperate to add a new striker to its ranks and Osimhen is one of several options under consideration.
The Nigerian, who helped Napoli win their Champions League group recently, setting up a last-16 tie with Eintracht Frankfurt, is one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe. He scored 18 goals in 32 games last season and has started this term in similarly impressive fashion.
