Mashemeji Derby Venue Earmarked For AFCON 2027 Set For More Upgrades
Kenya has received a boost as AFCON 2027 stadium is poised for more upgrade after Mashemeji Derby test.
But rather than seeking a move to a top European club, Osimhen is in advanced negotiations with Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal. It is believed that Osimhen's mammoth three-year contract could see him earn close to £15m per season playing in the Gulf nation.
While Al Hilal are confident they will get the deal over the line, Osimhen's move will not be finalised until the club receive the necessary funds from the Saudi government to sign their man.
Possible hitch?

Saudi's Ministry of Sports have not yet given the green light to release these funds, without which a deal would be impossible.
However, Al Hilal are not worried about this, and their club president has reportedly even received verbal confirmation of Osimhen's desire to join.
Osimhen is one of Europe's hottest strikers and has also been linked with Arsenal, Juventus and Barcelona.

Last summer, Chelsea legends John Obi Mikel and Didier Drogba reached out to the forward to try and talk him into a Stamford Bridge switch.

Osimhen is a goal poacher who has been likened to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.
