What do we think?
Unfortunately for Everton fans, it appears as though the shirt may have just been a present from his national side teammate, Alex Iwobi (as per Everton News Feed).
However, the response from Everton supporters seems fairly conclusive that they would love to see Osimhen at Goodison Park, although that should be expected given he has had 24 goal contributions this season (per Transfermarkt).
