Lille striker, Victor Osimhen will soon be joining Napoli this summer, with the deal set to be announced on Friday, 24 July.

There were speculations on Monday that Osimhen’s move to Napoli was delayed by negotiations over the striker’s image rights.

However, the 21-year-old will make his much-awaited switch to the Naples outfit with Gennaro Gattuso’s side set to pay €80m for the Nigeria international after reaching an agreement with Los Douges.

His agent and brother in-law, Stanley Okolo who confirmed this to The Punch said,  “There’s an agreement already with Napoli, so we wait for the announcement on Friday.”

Upon the completion of the deal the Nigerian star will become Nigeria and Africa’s most expensive footballer.
