Fresh from helping Nigeria’s Super Eaglets secure this year’s U23 Africa Cup of Nations, U17 star Victor Osimhen has arrived in England, where he is expected to seal a deal with a top Premier League side, according to officials.

A source close to the striker said: “Everything has been agreed with an EPL club and only a crazy deal from Real Madrid will scuttle (sic) this.”

Osimhen, who netted a record-breaking 10 goals when Nigeria won their fifth U17 World Cup in Chile, has been linked with several top European clubs. London clubs Spurs and Arsenal are thought to have shown interest but neither club will confirm a deal has been struck.
