| PSG Set to Snatch Osimhen from Premier League Suitors |
The 25-year-old Nigerian striker has been a hot commodity in European football, scoring 31 goals in 39 appearances, with 26 of those goals in the league. His impressive record has led to links with top clubs, and now PSG is ready to pay the €120m release clause in his contract, according to Italian media outlet Il Mattino.
Paris Saint-Germain is poised to break the bank for Napoli's coveted striker Victor Osimhen, outbidding English Premier League trio Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea. Despite signing a contract extension in December, Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli after a successful four-year stint, which saw him play a crucial role in the team's Serie A title win last season.

This development comes as a significant blow to Arsenal and Chelsea, who had identified Osimhen as their primary target for the upcoming season. Both teams are in dire need of a reliable striker, with Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson failing to deliver and Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus not meeting expectations.
PSG's willingness to pay the release clause indicates their determination to secure Osimhen's services, leaving the Premier League clubs to explore alternative options. As the transfer window heats up, it remains to be seen how this development will impact the summer's transfer market. One thing is certain, however - Victor Osimhen is set to become one of the most expensive African players in history.
