Super Eagles of Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen could be on his way to England this summer after two Premier League clubs reportedly made a formal approach to Napoli.

The summer transfer window is fast approaching, and the future of Nigerian star Victor Osimhen could be the hottest topic.

The 26-year-old is currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, but he's expected to leave the Italian giants this summer.

Osimhen has been on fire for Galatasaray, scoring 28 goals in 32 appearances as his stock continues to rise, with some even suggesting he is currently the best striker on the planet.

Napoli have reduced the asking price from €120 million to €75 million, and Turkish transfer journalist Arda Ozkurt has revealed that Arsenal and Manchester United have made formal approaches.

Other clubs following Osimhen's situation include Barcelona, Liverpool, and PSG in what is expected to be one of the biggest moves of the summer.

"Victor Osimhen did not say anything about whether he will stay at Galatasaray or not. He is currently focused on the championship and will make his decision accordingly," Ozkurt reports.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are also reportedly interested in Osimhen, but could look to Ipswich's Liam Delap as a cheaper and younger alternative.

Delap, 22, has scored 12 goals for the relegation-battling side, sparking interest in his services from the Premier League's top clubs.
