It has been revealed that more glamorous clubs in Europe, including Paris Saint-Germain, had been interested in the signature of the Nigeria international.

In addition to PSG, Inter Milan and Manchester City showed interest in the lanky striker.

The 20-year-old opened his UEFA Champions League account as Lille were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea on Wednesday.
Victor Osimhen has had a blistering start to his career at Ligue 1 club Lille, scoring 7 goals in 10 appearances across all competitions.
