    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Reports highlight that Osimhen will only head to Saudi Arabia if he cannot agree personal terms with the Premier League club. Al-Ahli officials are believed to be travelling to Italy to finalise their offer for the 25-year-old, but there is no guarantee that he will give the final green light.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Osimhen has now made more than 100 appearances in Serie A since joining Napoli four years ago. The Nigerian forward has scored 65 goals in the process and has also recorded 15 assists.
