Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to the reported news that Victor Osimhen is set to meet with Tottenham in the coming days to discuss a potential transfer.
According to French journalist Manu Lonjon (via The Spurs Web), the Lille striker has been speaking with Napoli but is keen to speak with Spurs as well, with a decision set to be made by next weekend. The Nigerian international has been linked with Spurs in previous months, after his sparkling season with the Ligue 1 side; he contributed 13 goals and four assists in 27 appearances in the French top-flight, earning an impressive 7.14/10 rating (per WhoScored).
The 21-year-old is currently valued at £24.3 million by Transfermarkt, suggesting that he could represent a potentially expensive deal for the north London club to complete this summer. However, when you consider how much Jose Mourinho bemoaned his lack of striker options following the injury to Harry Kane earlier this season, you would think that signing another forward should be a priority for the Lilywhites this summer.
Would Osimhen be a good signing for Spurs?
Yes
No

Lots of Spurs fans suggested that signing the 21-year-old could lead to Mourinho playing a 4-4-2 formation with Osimhen and Kane as the two strikers.
