A host of clubs have thus far expressed interest in the highly-rated 24-year-old striker, including Premier League giants Newcastle United, Manchester United and Arsenal.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has never been the one to simplify matters for interested clubs in any of his players, let alone suitors for Osimhen. Milan’s new management will undoubtedly find it hard to boil down a deal, especially with Manchester United and Arsenal in pole positions ahead of the summer window.
