NAPOLI star Victor Osimhen is one of the hottest properties in Europe this summer with so many top clubs on the lookout for a high-class centre forward.

With his club finishing a lowly 10th in Serie A last season and missing out on European football it looks certain that the Nigerian will be heading to pastures new.

Despite playing in a team struggling for form, Osimhen still managed 18 goals for club and country last term and the hero of Napoli's title winning side will be a man in demand.

Here's a look at who are the favourites to land the 25-year-old in what promises to be a fascinating transfer tug of war.

Chelsea

The Blues are 3/1 favourites to land Osimhen with most firms and it's no great surprise as they were crying out for a proper centre forward last season.

Last season's big summer signing Christopher Nkunku barely kicked a ball due to injuries and Nicolas Jackson failed to convince despite claiming a decent tally of 17 goals.

Chelsea are unlikely to spend as much as they did last summer but still have the finances to pull off a big swoop for the Napoli star.

Arsenal

The Gunners are another team who badly need an out-and-striker as they bid to grab the Premier League crown from Manchester City.

Kai Havertz isn't a natural playing up front while Eddie Nketiah hasn't impressed in the chances handed to him by Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal came so close to the title last term and only need a few tweaks to go to the next level. Having Osimhen to spearhead the attack would make them a fearsome proposition and the London giants are 4/1 in the betting.

Paris St-Germain

It's the dawn of a new era in Paris as the French giants come to terms with life after Kylian Mbappe. The superstar's move to Real Madrid has left a hole in PSG's attack and Osimhen could be tasked with filling his boots.

The Champions League remains the holy grail for Paris St-Germain after falling in the semi-final to Dortmund last season. Luis Enrique's side missed so many chances across both legs and had Osimhen been in the team it could have been a different story.

PSG's Qatari owners have deep pockets so striking a deal with Napoli wouldn't be a problem and they're 5/1 with Bet365 to seal the deal.

Any Saudi Pro League club

Most of the players who have chased the money over in Saudi Arabia are coming towards the end of their careers but Osimhen still might be tempted by the riches on offer.

Having tempted the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Neymar to move to the Middle East, the Saudis will be looking to make some more statement signings this summer.

It's unlikely Osimhen will move there with so many other options in Europe but a switch to any Saudi club is priced at just 9/1 by SkyBet.

Liverpool

Arne Slot has a tough task on his hands at Liverpool as he takes the reins from the legendary Jurgen Klopp and the Dutchman may want to stamp his mark on the squad with some big-money signings.

While the Reds have a wealth of attacking options, they also lacked a centre-forward who could be relied on to deliver in front of goal. Darwin Nunez was maddeningly inconsistent at times and signing Osimhen would give Liverpool more of an edge up front.

A lot may depend on whether the Anfield club cash in on Mo Salah but backing the Reds to sign Osimhen pays 14/1.
