Liverpool have been strongly linked with two exciting attackers, while Tottenham have held talks over an astonishing world-record transfer, according to Saturday’s European newspapers.
LIVERPOOL PREPARE DOUBLE TRANSFER SWOOP
Liverpool are ready to firm up their interest in Lille striker Victor Osimhen by making an approach for the Nigerian.
Reports last weekend indicated the powerful frontman had been extensively scouted by the Reds this season, with Jurgen Klopp reportedly have earmarked the player as a future world star.
Osimhen only joined Lille in the summer – the French club using the money they collected from Arsenal for Nicolas Pepe – to sign the 20-year-old from Wolfsburg.

But Osimhen has already struck 13 goals for the Ligue 1 side, drawing attention from a number of Premier League suitors and earning acclaim from the Nigeria international side, where he has scored four times in nine appearances.
It was indicated at the time that Lille were prepared to reject all offers for the player until the summer, but reports in Spain claim that interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona have forced Liverpool to hurry along their interest in him.
As per Marca, the Reds have now contacted the Ligue 1 side to see if they would consider a deal for a player already rated in the €45m bracket.
