NICK VIC Tottenham ready to hijack Arsenal’s Victor Osimhen transfer bid after Gunners fail in £51m offer

From the Sun

 

[Yiddo100]

I don’t know if £80m would be enough but I can see us going that high if we want him

 

[GutBucket]

Ally Gold also mentioned him. Drogba 2.0 essentially and amazing player but Napoli were top of the league before he got injured and will want to keep him, or sell for some crazy amount.

 

[Beni]

Yes please. Would be a statement signing, could cover across the whole front 3, wouldn’t be backup, and get plenty of games. He would be for the now and also the future for us for years to come taking over from Kane when starts to decline.

 

[spids]

We should go all in on him. Perfect CF who is big, quick, technical and a goal scorer. I’ve wanted him since before he went to Napoli.

 

[tobi]

Excellent player, he'll have no problems adapting to this league.

His finishing is still a work in progress but his all round game improved a lot under Spaletti.

I don't see how this would work but fuck it, sign him and figure it out later.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

The question is, could he play in Son’s position too if needed?

ie. Osimhen, Kane, Kulusevski front 3

If not then I wouldn’t sign him, we need a flexible forward.

 

[Tucker]

So how much is this chap likely to cost?

 

[tobi]

He is a centre forward he isn't as effective when played wide in a front three.

Yeah he can. He can also play up top in a 2, or we could play Kane as a CAM and son and him up front. Gives us a lot of options.

 

[djhotspur]

So how much is this chap likely to cost?

110m euros I reckon

 

[Fredo]

Wanted this guy for a while now, please get him Spurs.

 

[Yiddo100]

So how much is this chap likely to cost?

£80m maybe a tad more

Amazing eventual replacement for Kane but as of now he really can't play all three positions (or is at least basically completely untried on the wing).

Probably the best young striker out there after Haaland, and imo much better than Nunez, but he's been playing as a target man for Napoli. His role is to pin defenders with his back to goal and bounce passes to the attacking midfielders - hence him being 1st percentile for progressive passes and only completing 16 passes per game.

Fantastic, fantastic player but not 100% sure how he fits unless Conte has got some smart Kane at 10 plan lined up and that's why he wants a Scamacca/Osimhen style target man.

That clears it up! Lol

 

[chrissivad]

Just looked at a few clips on their Instagram page, he has a good jump on him and looks quick

It's up to Paraticito convince him to join if we are after him.

 

[Chris Flynn]

110m euros I reckon

 

[JCRD]

I like him a lot but it seems like he has injury issues - I could be mistaken.

I think we are building a squad, not just a team. So it allows us to rest Kane against some of the Carabao cup games and one or two others. And allows us to be flexible in our formations and how we play

 

[muel]

I just cannot see us going above £50m/£60m for any player. Even with a bigger than usual budget it’s not our MO. Let alone what Napoli will insist for their star player in a position where we have a star player.

…….I’d bloody love to be wrong obviously
