# Everton: Fans react as Victor Osimhen linked; Tottenham Hotspur also interested

**Many Everton fans have been reacting as Victor Osimhen has been linked with a transfer move to the Merseyside club alongside Tottenham Hotspur, according to [Area Napoli](https://www.areanapoli.it/calciomercato/napoli-ancora-contatti-per-sorloth-in-attesa-di-osimhen-possibile-un-duplice-scenario-i-dettagli_379024.html).**

As per the outlet, Napoli are still locked in negotiations with LOSC Lille for him, but a deal has not yet been fully agreed, meaning that Carlo Ancelotti’s team could potentially pounce for his signature.

Osimhen enjoyed a relatively impressive 2019/20 season, as the [£24.3 million-valued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/victor-osimhen/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/401923/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) ace scored 18 goals and made six assists in 38 games in all competitions in France (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/victor-osimhen/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/401923/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

However, there may be concerns over the 21-year old’s lack of experience playing in England and the Premier League, as well as the Goodison Park outfit perhaps already having two capable strikers already in Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison, who have netted 24 times and provided four assists between them in the top flight so far in this campaign (per [Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/PlayerComparison)).

These EFC supporters seemed split on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TheGwladysSt/status/1280928715057377282) as to whether the Nigerian international would be a good signing for the Toffees:
