1-0 win for Tottenham. Rasmus Højlund had his chances, Joshua Zirkzee the same (played behind Højlund). In injury time in the second half, Ruben Amorim brought in a 17-year-old from the academy, a strong signal that changes are coming in the striker position. Now a journalist reports that Manchester United have made a verbal offer to one of the world’s best strikers.
Galatasaray were the biggest surprise of the summer in the transfer market. The Turkish big club took advantage of the rift between Napoli and Osimhen, the Nigerian striker opted for loan outside the five biggest leagues. Here, the 26-year-old shows him continuing with what he does best, scoring goals. 17 goals in 23 games in the Gala shirt.
Osimhen’s goals send Galatasaray towards the league title. At Napoli, the historic Serie A title of the 2022/23 season was made possible by Osimhen’s 26 league goals.
The Nigerian super striker has been linked with Manchester United, according to Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu, the Premier League club have now contacted Osimhen and made him a verbal offer.
Osimhen has a buyout clause of around €75 million, which means more player sales at United to cover the cost, but when United have paid around the same for Rasmus Hojlund and his 12 goals in 50 Premier League games, then this looks like a very right and important investment for United.
