Report: Tottenham identify 23-year-old as potential Harry Kane replacement

According to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli (18/03/22 as relayed by TuttoNapoli), Tottenham Hotspur could make a move for Victor Osimhen if Harry Kane leaves the club this summer.

Kane said in an interview to Sky Sports last week that he is enjoying working with Antonio Conte and insisted the Italian could help Tottenham compete for major honours once again.

However, some reports (90 min) have indicated that the striker has already made up his mind to push for a move away from Spurs this summer as he does not believe the North London club can match his ambitions.

Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli have now claimed the Lilywhites have identified Osimhen as a replacement for the England captain if he leaves.

The Nigerian international has been impressive since joining Napoli from Lille in the summer of 2020, having found the back of the net on 13 occasions in all competitions so far this campaign (Transfermarkt).

According to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, Conte likes Osimhen ‘a lot’ and Spurs could compete with Newcastle for the 23-year-old’s signature this summer.

Spurs Web Opinion

Osimhen is very much a modern-day centre-forward, who possesses an excellent all-round game. He is only going to get better as he gains more experience at the top level. However, it would be impossible to replace Kane with just one player if the striker does depart this summer.
