PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have entered the race for Victor Osimhen, according to reports.
The Nigerian star’s goals have fired Napoli to the top of Serie A this season.
His blistering form has attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.
But according to Italian transfer expert Nicolo Schira, French giants PSG also want to sign the red-hot 24-year-old.
Osimhen has bagged 19 goals in 22 Serie A appearances this term.
Luciano Spalletti’s side are on the verge of winning the title, with Saturday’s 2-0 win over Atalanta sending them 18 points clear of second placed Inter after 26 matches.

The match was memorable for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s brilliant, Maradona-esque goal.
PSG football director Luis Campos worked at Lille when they signed Osimhen from Belgian side Charleroi in 2019.
The forward went on to score 18 goals in one season with LOSC before moving to Napoli for initial fee of around £62million.
Spalletti’s side stand to make a big profit from Osimhen, valuing him at £107m.

In addition to their strong Serie A form, Napoli are also going well in the Champions League.
They lead their round of 16 tie with Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 from the first leg last month, with the second match set to take place on Wednesday this week.
Osimhen scored in the first leg triumph, to go along with his goal against Ajax in the group stage.
PSG chief Campos may be tasked with regenerating his side’s attack around Kylian Mbappe this summer.
Lionel Messi has been linked with Inter Miami, while Neymar could also be let go.
Also reportedly on their radar are Manchester City ace Bernardo Silva and his Portugal team-mate Goncalo Ramos.
