Tottenham Hotspur are willing to “explore” the possibility of a €120 million deal for Victor Osimhen if he leaves Napoli following a “scandal” involving a video on the social media platform.

Fichajes says Spurs had “explored” signing Osimhen as a replacement for Ivan Toney, but are now “open” to the idea.

Tottenham are continuing to “explore the market” and are “looking for options” to strengthen their squad, especially at center forward, where Harry Kane’s departure has left “a hole”.

Toney is the first name on their list, but “signing him” would be difficult, so Spurs have also “explored” Osimhen.

Osimhen was once thought to be “a non-transferable” at Napoli but “his situation has changed” following the “scandal”.

Because of this, it has been suggested that Osimhen is now “interested in leaving” the team, which has attracted Tottenham’s attention.

Despite the fact that Tottenham’s current valuation of the striker is €120 million, they are “willing to explore negotiation possibilities.”However, those discussions would only take place if a deal for Toney is totally impractical.

Osimhen is only one of the players being considered by Spurs as they ‘keep their options open’ in their search for a striker.

But we’ll treat the report with a grain of salt. First and foremost due to the source, and secondly because it seems quite improbable that Tottenham would ever shell out such a money for a player.

 

Even though the story claimed it would be his ‘bombshell’ signing, Daniel Levy just doesn’t operate that way, especially after several of their high-profile acquisitions have faltered.

Furthermore, it’s questionable whether Osimhen would even be valued at that level given that Aurelio de Laurentiis allegedly rejected similar bids from Saudi Arabia this summer and gave them a figure far greater than that.

Therefore, large handfuls of salt, but something to maybe watch for if the uproar over the famed TikTok video doesn’t abate.
