Manchester United have recently been linked with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and there’s a reason why Napoli want €100m for him.

The 23-year-old Nigerian is one of the most exciting and dangerous forwards in Serie A, comfortable acting as a focal point in Luciano Spalletti’s side. He is a clinical striker, having netted seven league goals from 7.3 expected goals this campaign, and he’s a proven goalscorer.

Other statistics highlight why Osimhen is such a dangerous player. He averages 7.25 touches of the ball in the opponent’s penalty area per 90 minutes, which suggests that he often is in the right position and takes regular close-range shots. His shooting stats back this up, as he averages 4.12 shots per 90 minutes this campaign.

The Nigerian forward is also adept at getting his teammates involved in play, creating 2.60 shot-creating actions per 90 and 4.12 progressive carries per 90. These numbers underline how Osimhen is a creative and electric forward who has a keen eye for goal and quick feet in the penalty area.

Contracted to Napoli until 2025, he is one of the core figures in Spalletti’s squad and the club are not keen to lose him, so this is why Manchester United would need to pay €100m if they want to secure his signature in the upcoming summer transfer window.
