Newcastle planning huge new offer for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen

Newcastle United haven't given up on landing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

Calciomercato.com says Newcastle are preparing a 'monster offer' to sign Osimhen ahead of the summer transfer window.

Arsenal had been touted as a possible destination with the Gunners desperate to bring in a superstar signing up front. But the Gunners have reportedly been put off by Napoli's £85million asking price.

That could open the door for Newcastle to swoop in. The Magpies have been 'wooing' the forward for 'some time'.

The report suggests that Osimhen's preference would be to play in the Premier League.

And Newcastle are said to be planning to make a 'monster offer' in the very near future. It is claimed that Napoli won't drop below their £85m asking price, which may test Newcastle's new owners.
