'Osimhen would become a superstar at Napoli' – Lille president Gerard Lopez

Lille president Gerard Lopez has stated that Victor Osimhen would become a superstar at Napoli should a transfer materialise.

The 21-year-old has been touted to join the Partenopei with reports suggesting he has travelled to the Campania capital and has met with the club president Aurelio De Laurentiis as well as coach Gennaro Gattuso.

Napoli’s interest in Osimhen comes on the back of a productive season with Lille where he scored 18 goals in 38 competitive outings, all good enough to crown him as the club’s best player and the best African player in Ligue 1 of the campaign.
