According to Spanish newspaper AS
Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign Nigerian teenager
Victor
Osimhen after his outstanding showing at the under-17 World Cup.
The 16-year-old netted an incredible
10 goals in seven matches during the tournament and that record appears to have
caught the eye of Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The latest claims from Spain suggest
that Osimhen will join Tottenham, although there is no suggestion as to when he
will arrive in North London.
At just 16, and currently plying his
trade at Ultimate Strikers Academy, it is likely to have been a relatively easy
negotiation to convince the player to move to the Premier
League, but until Tottenham come out and confirm the deal themselves
it should still be taking with a pinch of salt.
Tottenham’s head of recruitment Paul
Mitchell has a good eye for players but when someone is hitting double figures
at such an illustrious tournament, it could be deemed a no-brainer to make a
move.
Only time will tell if Osimhen does
arrive at Tottenham and if he can replicate his performances for Nigeria’s
youngsters at club level, but it is certainly a report to excite the vast
majority of Spurs fans.
