Victor Osimhen, who spent last season on loan at Galatasaray, is attracting strong interest from several clubs during the summer transfer window.

Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal were one of the most determined suitors for the Nigerian striker, looking to secure his signature ahead of the upcoming Club World Cup.

However, TBR Football has reported that Osimhen has turned down an offer from Al-Hilal as he remains keen on joining the Premier League.

Man United are still keen on Osimhen despite having signed Matheus Cunha and close to signing Bryan Mbeumo.

Liverpool are also interested in Osimhen, with reports suggesting that the club sees him as an alternative if they fail to sign Alexander Isak.

But Osimhen rejecting Saudis is not only a boost for Liverpool and Man United but also a boost for Tottenham.

Saudis could turn to Richarlison after Victor Osimhen snub

According to talkSPORT, Al-Hilal could reignite their interest in Richarlison after the snub by Osimhen.

Saudis have been long interested in Richarlison, most recently being in the January transfer window.

However, Richarlison shut down a transfer to Saudi back then, committing himself to an injury-ridden Tottenham side at that time.

Saudis reigniting their interest in the Brazilian would come as a big boost for Tottenham, who are looking to sell Richarlison.

The Saudis would be willing to make a substantial offer to secure his services, which Spurs would be keen on as they will aim to use the money to bolster their squad going into the new season.

Everton are another option for the 28-year-old, with David Moyes keen on bringing Richarlison back to Goodison.

Richarlison’s time at Tottenham

Richarlison joined Spurs from Everton in 2022 in a £60m deal but has struggled to justify the hefty price tag.

His debut season was marred by injuries and poor form, scoring just one league goal and three goals in all competitions.

While he showed improvement in his second campaign with 11 league goals in 28 appearances, this past season saw another dip in form, managing just four goals in 15 league games.

With his value still relatively intact, Tottenham will be hoping to cash in this summer and recoup a significant portion of their investment before his stock potentially declines further.
