Napoli have confirmed the signing of Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen from LOSC Lille in a deal worth a reported €50-million.
The 21-year-old striker scored 13 goals in 27 games for the Ligue 1 outfit before the 2019/20 season was cancelled but showed enough for the Italian giants to make him their club-record signing.
Osimhen spent only one season in France after a breakout campaign in the Jupiler Pro League in Belgium, where he scored 19 goals in 34 games for Charleroi during a loan stint from VFL Wolfsburg.

Overall the Super Eagles star netted 18 goals and registered six assists in 38 games across all competitions last season.
