Tottenham Hotspur are supposed one Premier League team interested in acquiring the services of Lille attacker Victor Osimhen next month.

According to Sky Sports, the Nigerian has emerged as a possible target for the Lilywhites, as well as Liverpool and Chelsea.

The Nigerian forward has been making waves over in France, and has scored 12 goals in 23 games in all competitions.

He is currently joint-third in the Ligue 1 goalscoring chart, behind Wissam Ben Yedder and Moussa Dembele and alongside Kylian Mbappe.

Osimhen’s form was always likely going to spark interest from teams around Europe, but could Spurs have a trump card to play to land the 20-year-old?

TBR’s view – Sacramento factor could be key

Tottenham may stand a better chance than their Premier League rivals at landing Osimhen due to the fact they now have Joao Sacramento as part of the coaching staff.

Sacramento just left Lille to join Mourinho in north London as his assistant manager, and knows all about the African youngster and where he is at with his development.

Tottenham might be more of draw for Osimhen knowing there is a familiar face at the club.
