reported that Napoli had agreed to pay an initial 60 million
euros ($71.06 million) transer fee, which could rise to 81
million in performance-related add-ons.
"SSC Napoli are delighted to announce the signing of Victor

The 21-year-old Nigeria international, who is reported to
have signed a five-year deal, scored 18 goals in all
competitions at Lille this season as they finished fourth in
Ligue 1 which was truncated due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wolfsburg, where he made his debut in 2017, before moving to
Belgian club Charleroi, scoring 20 goals.
Osimhen has scored four goals in eight appearances for
Nigeria. He also won the Under-17 World Cup in 2015, finishing
as the tournament's top scorer with 10 goals.
