Spurs' £55m bid for Osimhen intensifies summer hunt

Tottenham Hotspur are desperate to boost a faltering attack after missing other targets, and on Monday they launched an initial £55 million bid for Galatasaray’s 27‑year‑old striker Victor Osimhen, aiming to add a proven goal‑scorer to their ranks in the Premier League.

Spurs are keen to strengthen their attack after missing out on other targets this window. Their desire to improve goal output drives the search for a proven scorer.

The club has also held positive talks with Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo. This underscores a broader push for attacking talent.

On Monday Tottenham Hotspur made an initial approach worth up to £55 million for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, 27.

Galatasaray, the Turkish champions, are demanding closer to £65 million for the Nigerian forward.

If Spurs meet Galatasaray’s valuation, Osimhen could bring Premier League experience to the club. His proven goal‑scoring record could potentially revitalise their attack.

Liverpool have made it clear they have no intention of selling the 26‑year‑old Dutchman Cody Gakpo. This means Spurs must outbid rivals if they wish to secure a striker. Across Europe, Atletico Madrid are considering a move for Manchester City winger Jack Grealish. Everton and Aston Villa are also exploring bids for the 30‑year‑old Englishman.

Newcastle are set to complete a medical for Brazil midfielder Bruno Guimaraes at Arsenal in a deal worth nearly £80 million. The Magpies have also secured goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek after meeting his £25.7 million release clause.

Hull City are close to an agreement to sign Nice striker Mohamed‑Ali Cho for about £17 million. Real Madrid duo Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios are having medicals with Fulham after permanent moves were agreed.
