Napoli officials were reportedly impressed with Osimhen's shape.

               
           
               
                   

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has completed his medicals ahead of a big-money move to Napoli.

               
           
               
                   

Osimhen has been locked in talks with Napoli who have agreed a reported €81m deal with Lille.

               
           
               
                   

According to Germany-based Nigerian journalist Oma Akatugba who is close to the striker, an announcement is imminent after the medicals which showed the Nigeria international in top health.

               
           
               
                   

“Medicals done @victorosimhen9 is in top health. Everyone in Naples are happy. The club president is smiling from ear to ear. The announcement will happen soon,” Akatuga said on Twitter.

               
           
               
                   

This will bring to an end the many complications that threatened to scupper the move.

               
           
               
                   

Osimhen visited Naples in June to meet with Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis and coach Gennaro Gattuso although it was said that he was not keen on the move after the meeting.

The striker went on to part ways with his two European agents who reportedly were going after their interest in their negotiations with Napoli.

               
           
               
                   

The move will continue Osimhen’s career rise after a fantastic season with Lille. In the 2019/2020 season, the 21-year-old scored 18 goals in 31 games in all competition.
