Osimhen, 23, is reportedly on Spurs’ radar, as they brace themselves to enter the market for a forward.

Bayern Munich have shown an interest in Tottenham talisman Harry Kane, with club chief Oliver Kahn saying: “Sure, an absolute top striker, but that’s all a dream of the future.

“Now we have to look at getting the squad together for the current season. So let’s see what else happens.”

Kane’s Tottenham contract runs until June 2024, with talks currently on hold until after the World Cup.
