Victor Osimhen is refusing to rule out a summer move to Manchester United by dropping a fairly hefty hint about a possible summer exit from Napoli.

At the end of the season, we will see what is going to happen, but that is not up to me. And with 20 wins and just one loss from their 23 games to date, it only appears a matter of time before they are crowned Serie A champions. Osimhen himself is certainly well aware of the links to United. It gives me the motivation to do even more for myself and my team. It is for the club to decide.” And to all intents and purposes, Kane will likely stay where he is. Kane, meanwhile, looks a hard one for United to land. Furthermore, they currently sit third in the table and are just five points adrift of leaders Arsenal. United manager Erik ten Hag has presided over an excellent campaign so far with the club still very much alive in four competitions. I just want to help my team to win matches and win trophies. Any deal for the Nigerian though is likely to hit United hard in the pocket, though. To that end, the club’s major aim this summer is to sign a new central striker.
