Osimhen joined Lille in the summer of 2019 from Belgian side Charleroi and took the Number 7 shirt of Nicolas Pépé who left The Great Danes for Arsenal.

The Nigeria international quickly took to Ligue 1 like a duck to water and is now the main striker for the club.

The striker is expected to make the move to a bigger club either this summer or the next.
