Barcelona Eye Nigerian Duo •Club Target Osimhen Wins Ligue 1 Player Of The Month Award

By Daily Sports on October 18, 2019

Barcelona are interested in signing RB Salzburg youngster Karim Adeyemi and Lille forward Victor Osimhen.

Mundo Deportivo reported 17-year-old Adeyemi is attracting attention from Spain having scored five goals in nine league outings for the Salzburg U19 team in this campaign.

Adeyemi, who is born to a Nigerian father and a Romanian mother in Germany, is valued at around €8 million by the Austrian outfit.

In addition, Osimhen who has been in fine goalscoring form since his arrival in France has been identified as one of four possible replacements for Luis Suarez, whose contract is expected to run out in 2021 with no option for a renewal.

Fox Sports claimed the Lille star Osimhen has joined three other players in the shortlist.

The news came as Osimhen was named the Ligue 1 Player of the Month for September, beating Algeria and Monaco forward Islam Slimani.

The Super Eagles frontman hit the ground running after joining the Great Danes from Belgian side Sporting Charleroi in the summer and has been rewarded for his efforts.

The 20-year-old striker scored two goals and provided two assists last month to help Christophe Galtier’s men secure eight points.

His impressive form ensured he beat the challenge of Slimani and Nantes defender Nicolas Pallois to clinch the individual accolade.

The former Wolfsburg striker has scored seven league goals in nine games for the Great Danes this season.

Osimhen will hope to maintain his form when Lille slug it out against Toulouse on Saturday.
