Lille confirm multiple offers for Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham target

 

Lille owner Gerard Lopez claims the club have received 'multiple offers' for prized asset Victor Osimhen. 

 

There is ample interest in the Nigerian following a fine breakthrough year for the Ligue 1 side, where he netted 13 goals and provided four assists. 

 

Indeed, Premier League sides Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham have each been monitoring his situation in France. 

 

And Lopez has since confirmed they he has already turned down at least two offers for Osimhen. 

 

"There are multiple offers. We turned down one English and one Spanish offer this January transfer window," he told The Daily Mail. 

 

"There is a wide array [this summer] and I wouldn't want to give the names of the clubs who are bidding but what I can tell you is that there are multiple [offers]. There are three championships that have clubs that have bid for him." 

 

Real Madrid and Barcelona have also been credited with an interest in Osimhen, but it'll take an offer of similar size to the one they received for Nicolas Pepe last summer to convince Lille to sell the young striker.

"I am not being a sales guy because last year people didn't believe that we had the offers we had with [Nicolas] Pepe and it turns out we had multiple of them," Lopez added. 

 

"Let me tell you with Osimhen, it is the same thing, whatever number you heard, the high number I have read is very much on the money of the offers that we have received. That's where we are."
