Premier League club, Tottenham Hotspur, are reportedly preparing to join the race to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen, despite Galatasaray’s determination to keep the Nigerian forward.
According to reports, Spurs have identified Osimhen as a key attacking target and are ready to offer £65 million for the 27-year-old as they continue an ambitious summer recruitment drive.
The report claims Tottenham have already received “sporting approval” to begin formal negotiations for the striker, while agreeing personal terms is not expected to present a major obstacle.
Any move, however, is expected to face significant challenges.

Galatasaray reportedly value Osimhen at €150 million, substantially higher than Tottenham’s reported offer.
Recall the Turkish champions signed the Nigerian for €75 million (around £65 million), and he remains under contract until 2029.
Osimhen has also previously stated that he would only leave Galatasaray if the club decided to sell him.
He has enjoyed an impressive run of success over the past four seasons, helping his clubs win three league titles.
Osimhen guided Napoli to the Serie A title in the 2022/23 season before winning back-to-back Turkish Super Lig titles with Galatasaray in the 2024/25 and 2025/26 campaigns.
The Nigerian has scored 107 goals in 145 appearances in all competitions during that period. He has also netted 16 goals in 27 UEFA Champions League matches.
Osimhen has been linked with several Premier League clubs in recent transfer windows, including Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, but none of the reported moves materialised.
