Following his outstanding play for Serie A side Napoli this season, the Nigerian international is one of the most sought-after strikers.
The kid is said to have agreed to a €4.5 million agreement with the English club, with Napoli still in talks with the Magpies.
The Nation is reporting that Osimhen has agreed to personal terms with the Magpies during the summer transfer window, according to Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport. If the contract goes through, the 23-year-old will cement his position as the highest-paid Nigerian footballer in Europe.
According to sources, Newcastle is still in talks with Napoli in Italy on the player’s transfer fee, which is estimated to be around €100 million.
According to the article, Napoli is seeking €100 million because 30 percent of any proceeds from Osimhen’s sale will go to his old club Lille.
Remember that the striker told La Gazzetta dello Sport in April that he was interested in joining Arsenal, but only if they qualified for the Champions League. With only one game remaining, the Premier League team is now two points behind Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur in fourth place.
