Liverpool have held talks with the representatives of Lille forward Victor Osimhen, according to a report in France.
French media outlet Le10Sport, as quoted by the Daily Express, is reporting that the Reds have entered the race to sign the highly-rated striker ahead of the summer transfer window.

Osimhen has been linked with moves to Chelsea, Leicester City and Manchester United in the last few days but Le10 believe that it is the Reds who are the favourites to sign the 21-year-old.
Before the season was halted, the Nigerian star was in great form for Lille, having scored 18 goals whilst also assisting a further six for his teammates.
Lille are reportedly asking for £60m for Osimhen, who is seemingly in the radar of a few clubs around Europe.

Chelsea seems the best option for you where you can guarantee a first team action. You will be back up to firmino in Liverpool, back up to martial and Rashford in Man United, and to Vardy in leciester city. You stand a better chance of selection ahead of Tammy in Chelsea, that’s if they really shows any form of seriousness in securing your services.. Think deeply son
Really osimhem will be good in Liverpool n Madrid

I seriously think Osimhen will be an excellent replacement to AUBAMEYANG in Arsenal, straight into starting eleven. But not sure they have the money to purchase him.
On the other hand, Liverpool will be great for him, Firminho is no longer that lethal so he can easily get game time, and the combination Salah-Osimhen-Mane will be unstoppable
I am a staunch Liverpool fan and the news that our own star boy might be heading to Anfield ordinarily should thrill me. Just that I got a bit sceptical when I remembered Xherdan Shaqiri. A workaholic and always a force in the opponents’ 18 (even if short of height), but haven’t really got a fair chance for enough game time under Klopp. Hopefully, it’s different with Osimhen (if the deal materialises) as their positions aren’t exactly the same.
Oh wow!! Liverpool would be a great fit… THE EPL is not ready
