Intermediaries have placed Victor Osimhen on Tottenham Hotspur‘s radar, offering the club a direct route to sign the 27-year-old Nigerian international from Galatasaray this summer. Spurs are actively targeting a striker in the current transfer window but have not yet committed to pursuing Osimhen specifically.
Per TEAMtalk, the deal carries real financial complexity. Tottenham would need to sell either Dominic Solanke or Richarlison before a move becomes viable. Beyond the transfer fee, Osimhen’s wage package presents a separate obstacle — his current salary of €288,000 per week after tax would make him the club’s highest earner.
Osimhen’s Record at Galatasaray
Osimhen left Napoli in September 2024 following behind-the-scenes friction at the Serie A club, joining Galatasaray initially on loan before the Turkish side completed a permanent transfer last summer. He delivered an exceptional debut season and has carried that form into the 2025/26 campaign, registering 15 goals and five assists across just 19 Turkish Super Lig starts. Those numbers keep him on the shortlist of multiple high-profile clubs heading into the summer.
Why Tottenham Hold an Advantage
Reports indicate Osimhen is pushing for a Premier League move during the peak years of his career, and that ambition works in Spurs’ favor at the negotiating table. Dominic Solanke has dealt with recurring fitness problems since arriving at the club. Randal Kolo Muani has not secured a permanent deal. Richarlison’s future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium remains uncertain. The need for a reliable long-term striker is clear.
Osimhen’s desire for an English move gives Spurs genuine leverage on the player side of negotiations. The financial side is the real battleground — his wage demands combined with the need to move players out first means talks are likely to be drawn out. Whether Tottenham can complete the necessary sales quickly enough to land him will define their summer.
