Lille To Sign Nigeria's Osimhen As Replacement For Arsenal Bound Pepe



Nigeria international Victor Osimhen has been scheduled to have his medical and finalise his move to Lille this week, according to France Football.
This comes as Lille star man Nicolas Pepe arrived in England on Tuesday to undergo his medical examination ahead of a £72 million move to Arsenal.
The transfer fee will make the 24-year-old Ivorian the Gunners' most expensive signing, and he will sign a five-year deal which will earn him around £150,000 per week.
Osimhen is expected to undergo a medical on Wednesday, before signing a 5-year contract with Lille. Belgian side Charleroi have accepted a €12m excluding bonuses offer from Lille and the youngster will sign a 5-year contract with LOSC Lille should the medical run smoothly.
Osimhen netted 20 goals in all competitions for Charleroi last season and was part of the Super Eagles squad that won the bronze medal at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
