After weeks of negotiating, according to popular transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Victor Osimhen is set to be officially announced as a Napoli player.
Romano reported that the deal of €50 million-plus add ons between Lille and Napoli has been completed, while Mohamed Bouhafsi also reports that it is a five-year deal with the option of an extra year.

With Osimhen arriving, the Napoli attack will be better than ever. Dries Mertens alongside the Nigerian could prove to be an incredible partnership.
The Italian club, however, could see this as the chance to embed Osimhen into the main striking role. Mertens has just one year left on his contract and could be asked to step aside for the reported arrival.
