A brace from Victor Osimhen helped Napoli cruise past Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday and into their first ever Champions League quarter-finals.

Not long after that draw is made, the Partenopei will travel to Torino on Sunday to try and extend their lead at the Serie A summit even further. The only negative for Luciano Spalletti's side was Kvaratskhelia somehow not getting on the scoresheet, as Napoli qualified for their first ever Champions League quarter-final in some style. But Napoli were only ever a string of delicate passes away from being in on goal themselves.

Victor Osimhen addresses future amid Manchester United links (Manchester Evening News)

Man Utd are expected to land a big-money striker in the summer with Victor Osimhen a point of serious interest.

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. 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. 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](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag) to move down the list.

Arsenal was a good option but it wasn’t the best at the time. Midfielder, probably a winger, let’s also see what they’re going to do in the defensive positions. Now, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has reported that Arsenal's transfer priorities likely lie away from Osimhen considering the north London club already have a plethora of centre-forwards at their disposal. “I had a lot of options. This has naturally led to some interest from the biggest clubs in world football, from Chelsea to Arsenal and Tottenham to Manchester United all linked. It is also claimed that Napoli value their star centre-forward at around £133million, which would be a British transfer record. "The reality, we’ve had Arsenal links in the past 24 hours, but from what I understand Arsenal have different kinds of priorities at this moment on the market. Discussing the ex-forward, Osimhen said: "Didier Drogba is my idol. I will also be in talks with Napoli. At the end of the season, I will sit down with my agents and discuss. The striker has continued his form from the early parts of the season to put up figures only bettered by Manchester City's Erling Haaland. I am incredibly grateful to Napoli.
