Liverpool fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest transfer update surrounding LOSC Lille forward Victor Osimhen.
This comes after Liverpool fan Twitter account @AnfieldEdition shared a post on their page relaying comments made by Italian journalist Diego De Lucas to AreaNapoli (as cited by Sport Witness).
The journalist claimed that both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have offered €70m (£62.3m) for the Nigerian.
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were quick to share their reactions to this latest reported news.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans responding to the post:

Werner only… let’s not buy the next origi ?

Would you want Osimhen at Liverpool next season?
Yes
No
The 21-year-old has managed to score 18 goals in 38 appearances for the French club across all competitions so far this season (per Transfermarkt). This impressive goalscoring record may be the reason why Liverpool and Tottenham are reportedly interested in signing the Nigerian this summer. As this news made its way onto Twitter, it quickly grabbed the attention of a lot of Liverpool fans who were quick to share their views on the matter.
Let him go to spurs

Did we just forget for a minute that Werner existed?

Lies

This is completely false why even bother posting it, I bet spurs haven’t even put any bid in

What do we think?
It seems that not only do these Liverpool fans not believe that their club have offered this sum of money for Osimhen, but they also don’t want to see him arrive at the club this summer either.
