Nottingham Forest have taken a bold step in their pursuit of a striker as they consider signing Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen’s name has been on the lips of top European clubs and the world following an impressive start to the season.

The Nigerian international, who joined Galatasaray on a loan deal, has been nothing but exceptional for the Turkish champions.

The Super Eagles star has drawn interest from the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, PSG and Manchester United in the transfer window.

According to AreaNapoli.it, the English club sees Osimhen as a good fit for the club but could be too costly from an economic standpoint.

Nottingham, who are now third in the Premier League and already have Nigerian players like Ola Aina and Taiwo Awoniyi in their team, are looking to bolster their squad in January. 

All that is known at this time is that Osimhen will continue to be loaned to Galatasaray through June 30.

However, according to reports, the Turkish team is attempting to scrape together enough cash to make an offer to Napoli at the end of the season, relying on revenue from foreign sponsors.

Meanwhile, Manchester United, who are also in the race to sign the forward, are proposing a swap deal for the Nigerian.
