THE BIGGER PICTURE
It is claimed that the possible sale of the Chelsea and United-linked striker could be used to buy Lecce's Patrick Dorgu, Arsenal's Jakub Kiwior, and Empoli's Jacopo Fazzini. But Napoli will want at least €75m for the prolific striker's services. However, going by Osimhen's comments, he is very content at the Turkish giants – where he's scored nine goals in 12 games.
