Victor Osimhen open to Tottenham transfer after talks... on one condition, claims agent

Tom Dutton30 May 2020

The agent of Victor Osimhen has revealed he held talks with Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho over a deal for the Lille striker.

Osimhen has caught the attention of several of Europe's leading clubs with an impressive maiden season in Ligue 1, scoring 18 goals, and has been linked with a move to Spurs.

Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are also said to be monitoring the 21-year-old, but his agent Ariyo Igbayilola has opened the door to a move to Spurs on one key condition.

In an interview with Nigerian newspaper The Cable, Igbayilola joked: “We told Mourinho that if he wants Victor, will Harry Kane be leaving?

“If Kane is still playing for Tottenham will Victor play? Because he will always be benched for him.

“Kane is their number one striker and he is the captain of England. All of these will always work for him in the club but at Victor’s detriment.

“He needs a club where he will always play full game week in, week out. Not to be kept on the bench."
