The bonafide representatives of Victor Osimhen has made it crystal clear that there is no truth to reports that the striker has agreed to a deal with Tottenham Hotspurs.
Shira Yussuf, the elder brother of Nigeria international and ex Dynamo Kiev midfielder Yussuf Ayila, and his partner, Ariyo Igbayilola had this to say:
We have not agreed to anything with Tottenham Hotspur, it’s just speculation.
Victor Osimhen needs to rest, they shouldn’t unsettle the player with these transfer stories. How will a player be in Lagos, and they are speculating he has signed a contract with Tottenham Hotspur?
Shira Yussuf also added :
For now we don’t know where he’ll play. We have a lot of top clubs in Europe that are after Osimhen but in due time the public will know where he is headed. We can’t decide without the player.
Sources close to the situation has said that Osimhen is likely to join an English Premier League club, with the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool all scrambling for his signature.
The Ultimate Strikers poster boy etched his name into FIFA Under 17 World Cup record books after netting 10 times at the recently concluded tourney in Chile to become the all-time goal scorer. Also, Tottenham Hotspurs Football Club’s official website does not have any news of the rumoured signing – the final proof that rumours of his signing is a bald-faced lie!
