Osimhen has been the talk of the transfer window, after multiple rejected bids from Saudi side Al Hilal, who were desperate to sign the 26-year-old ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup.

Turkish side Galatasaray, where Osimhen spent last season on loan, now look poised to sign him on a permanent basis after submitting a bid to Napoli this week.
