Tottenham need to sell Kane to get Osimhen, agent says

Victor Osimhen's agent Ariyo Igbayilola has revealed that Premier League side, Tottenham, will need to sell their captain, Harry Kane before they can sign his client.

The Nigeria international is becoming one of the most wanted strikers in football with Europe's top sides like Barcelona, Liverpool as well as Manchester United.

Igbayilola has confirmed that Lilywhites boss Jose Mourinho has been in contact to discuss Osimhen's availability, but says Harry Kane's presence is likely to scupper any potential deal.

Kane (Spurs and England's captain) on the other hand, has also been heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham with Old Trafford a supposed destination.

He also fueled the rumours after stating that he won't hesitate to seek other options elsewhere to fulfil his ambitions but has since returned to training with Spurs as the PL move closer to "Project Restart".

The Lille star's agent told The Cable: “We told Mourinho that if he wants Victor, will Harry Kane be leaving?.

“If Harry Kane is still playing for Tottenham will Victor play? Because he will always be benched for him.

“Kane is their number one striker and he is the captain of England, all these will always work for him in the club but at Victor’s detriment.

“He needs a club where he will always play full games week in, week out. Not to be kept on the bench.”

The 21-year-old joined Lille from Belgian outfit Charleroi last summer and has since contributed 18 goals and six assists to Lille's cause in all competitions.
