Lille sign Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen on five-year deal
French Ligue side Lille have completed the signing of Nigerian international Victor Osimhen from Belgian First Division A club Sporting Charleroi.
20-year-old Osimhen penned a five-year deal that will keep him at the Stade Pierre Mauroy until 2024.
The move is his second transfer this summer after Sporting Charleroi permanently signed him from Wolfsburg in June.
During his loan spell in Belgium last season, Osimhen scored 20 goals in 36 matches across all competitions for the Zebras.
Osimhen was a member of the Nigeria team that finished third at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
His only appearance in the tournament was the third-place match against Tunisia that ended 1-0, in favour of the Super Eagles.
