Tottenham Hotspur are being linked with an ambitious move for Galatasaray’s Nigeria international Victor Osimhen, according to CaughtOffside.
Spurs have made initial approaches worth between £50 million and £55 million, with the Turkish champions seeking closer to £65 million.
However, that valuation appears optimistic given the striker’s long contract and importance in Istanbul.
Tottenham need a dependable goalscorer because Richarlison’s future remains uncertain, while Dominic Solanke has not completely solved their problems in front of goal.
Adding an explosive, aggressive No.9 would give De Zerbi a natural focal point for his possession-heavy system.
Tottenham have received sporting approval to begin formal negotiations and believe personal terms would not create a major obstacle, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

Osimhen scored 41 goals and provided 10 assists across 52 appearances for the Turkish giants last season, numbers that explain why De Zerbi supposedly views him as a transformative signing.
The North London club battled relegation last season and had to secure their place in the English topflight on the final day of the campaign.
Meanwhile, Osimhen was on target for Galatasaray in their 3-3 draw with French Ligue 1 outfit Rennes.
The former African Player of the Year opened the scoring in the 18th minute as the Turkish giants continue preparations ahead of the new campaign.
Galatasaray will play their final pre-season game against Villarreal next Saturday before facing Corum on August 14 for their opening league fixture.

Hahahaha…
What is this???
But lets be honest guys….
Tottenham is an average club in england….
Its not even among the top 3, 4 or even 5 in england….
Top five clubs:
Liverpool
Man u
Chelsea
Mancity
Arsenal…
Hahahahahaha
What happened to all the world class club like barca, real madrid, psg, bayern, man u etc this guy has been linked too??
What happened to all the talk of yen yen yen…
Arsenal sporting director travelled to watch osimhen??
Hahahahahaha…
To the extent that this guy skipped important national matches just to stay injury free so he can join one of those aforementioned world class clubs…..
Hahahahahaha…
Cos tbh, tottenham is never in the bracket of a world class club…
Or is not a club that will guarantee you elite trophies that will put him up there with their mbappe, haaland etc..
Osimhen for £65m and Tottenham still wavering?Tottenham should pay that amount before richer clubs snatch it from their grasp and run off!
Definitely an absolute blockbuster signing for the premier league!
Osimhen’s physical strength,relentless work rate,and elite finishing make him the quintessential modern premier league number nine.
I am certain after one season Tottenham will sell Osimhen much bigger money than he was bought.Surely,he will be a hit in the premiership!
A super eagles first choice shouldn’t be playing in Turkey.I get it,the salary is huge but we fans want the best as well for our darling super eagles.We want to promote the brand,we want our best player to be in contention for the balon d’or.That cannot happen playing in the Turkish league,doesn’t look likely in Tottenham either,but a step closer should he move to the later…
@Greenturf there is haaland…..
There is mbappe….
There is kane….
There is yamal
There is bellinghametc…
This guys are yet to win it even though they all play for elite and world class clubs that always guarantee them elite trophies…
It is osimhen that wants to join an average club like totenham that is a step closer????
Hahahaha
My brother even fourteen step closer osimhen will be no where near the balon d or if he joins that ambitionless totenham….
Hahahahaha….
And dont forget dembele will keep being in the picture …
Osimhen should count himself lucky that totenham offered £55m otherwise dude is not worth even £45m….
I mean for someone who plays in a third class league…
And who did not feature in this year’s world cup and has never featured….
Dont you think all these can affect a player’s price value in the market???
Ballon d’or is an award for a footballer’s performance for just one season.
The frontrunners in the past would count less should Osimhen have one great season,playing for an elite team like Barcelona.
Your lies and hate on Osimhen will take you to psychiatric hospital very soon. Mark my words!
