Lille striker Victor Osimhen's agent has given Liverpool and Manchester United hope of securing the forward's transfer this summer.
Several clubs are chasing his signature across Europe, not just the Premier League, with Napoli looking most keen.
And Osimhen’s new agent William D’Avila appears to be stalling on a potential deal with Napoli, knowing full well his client could get better wages on this side of the Channel.
Liverpool have been the most prominent name over the past week, with their interest widely pushed by Ciro Venerato, but Manchester United are also in the mix, according to Tuttosport.
The Italian newspaper look at Osimhen’s situation and reveal that D’Avila is ‘taking his time’, as he wants to ‘wait for the Premier League to finish’.
Osimhen's family want him to move to England if possible this summer as they have concerns over Serie A's problem with racism.
