Imagine him and Kane: Spurs eyeing record-breaking swoop for 63-goal "lion heart" - opinion

Spurs could sign a dream partner for Harry Kane in Napoli star Victor Osimhen as an update emerges on the club’s pursuit of the striker.

According to Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport (via Sport Witness), Antonio Conte’s side are named among the suitors for the Nigeria international.

The report claims that along with Spurs, the likes of Premier League rivals Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle are all in the running for his signature.

Indeed, it’s further added that Napoli will not contemplate a sale of their star forward unless a bid of around €100m (£84m) materialises – that figure of course would be a record-breaking sum for Spurs.

While Kane and Heung-min Son have been the best duo in the Premier League for a number of years now – they figure right at the top for most combined goals in the top-flight – the England star may thrive even more with a clinical and pacy number nine ahead of him.

Even during his time with Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, Osimhen made an immediate impression on his coaches, with then manager Andries Jonker saying: “He has great potential in him. He is ambitious, quick and highly unpredictable, he will be a star in the future if he maintains his focus.”

But perhaps the biggest indication of why the Nigerian may be the perfect signing for Spurs is the way his former Nigeria teammate Odion Ighalo has talked about his attitude and desire to succeed.

He said: “He’s the future, he’s going to do so well in football. I love him, he’s down to earth, he’s hard working, he has a future and he has the mentality of a winner, that’s what I love about him. He has that lion heart. I love him, I just want him to keep working hard the way he’s doing, he’s going to break so many records in Europe and
