Victor Osimhen reminded his former and current suitors of his goalscoring prowess on Thursday night, finding the net against Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League. TNT Sports pundit Eni Aluko believes that Premier League sides should be exploring the possibility of signing the striker permanently from Napoli. The Nigerian has netted four goals in five domestic games for Galatasaray.

Eni Aluko thinks Arsenal and Chelsea should be looking to snap up Napoli’s wantaway striker Victor Osimhen.

The Nigeria international made a shock loan move to Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray in the summer after months of swirling rumours linking him away from his parent club.

And while Osmihen signed a new deal with the Serie A league leaders before his loan switch to Istanbul, a transfer to the Premier League in January is not out of the question.

Osimhen showed his ruthlessness in front of goal against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday night, netting a first-half brace, proving Aluko’s prescient claim that he is “guaranteed goals” correct.

The TNT Sports expert said: “He’s guaranteed goals. Even though he’s fallen out with Napoli. He scores goals. He’s great in the air, a physical presence. He’s a sort of throwback.

“He’ll always run down the centre. He’s not interested in coming deep. He’ll go down the gut of teams. He just wants to get in the box and he dominates. He wants that contact with defenders.

“I actually respect the fact that he’s not gone to Saudi Arabia, because I think he could’ve done. But I think he knows that he can still play at the highest level.

"And ultimately I think what makes a lot of these players is their character, that bit of maverick about them.

“So I think an Arsenal or a Chelsea should be looking at him. Arsenal in particular, who’ve got goalscoring problems.”
