Newly signed Charleroi striker Victor Osimhen will in the coming days end speculations about his future as he is few details away from joining French Ligue 1 side Lille, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Osimhen shunned advances from Serie A side Atalanta in preference for a move to the Ligue 1 side where he has been told he will get regular game time to further aid his development after his 20 goals haul for Charleroi last season.
Charleroi activated the clause of signing him permanently for €3m from Wolfsburg after the end of his loan deal and it is believed that the German side hold a 10 % stake on his next transfer.
The percentage due to them is why Charleroi are demanding a fee in excess of €16m for the 21 year old who is presently with the senior national team of Nigeria at the ongoing 2019 Africa Cup of Nations where Nigeria will play Algeria in the semi-final.
So far he is yet to play at the tournament with coach Gernot Rohr preferring the duo of Odion Ighalo and Paul Onuachu to him in attack in the five games the team have played so far.
