Here's one I've never heard before.

The Sunday Express are claiming that we're interested in Lille's 20 yr old Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.

Is there any truth to it?

{Ed002's Note - Victor Osimhen (S/F) One particular Liverpool scout is pressing for the club to sign him. Barcelona have also shown an interest but they have a financial issue to solve first - he only joined in the summer and Lille will resist any January bids - and it is hard to see why the player would consider a career on the bench. Spurs have looked at him and spoken with his agent. A senior Chelsea scout has also been watching the player who could be seen as an option to their primary striker target - but their need is for January rather than the summer. There was serious interest from Arsenal when he was much younger but he opted for Wolfsburg.}

Wow, thanks so much Ed002. I really didn't expect you to have THAT much insight into him.

I suspected that the newspaper were just throwing a random name out there. I also searched for his name on here and he hadn't been mentioned once.

Do you know if that particular scout has a good track record, as in, have we signed anyone he has suggested we sign before?

{Ed002's Note - I am not going to comment on individual scouts.}

I read that too. Sounds like a decent player with a bit of interest in him.

I understand Ed002.

Thanks as always for your insight.
