ENGLISH Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur are in pole position to 2015 Fifa U-17 top scorer and Golden Eaglets ace, Victor Osimhen ahead of the January transfer window, according to the Metro of the UK.
The North London club are thought to have moved ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City in the race to bring him to Europe after a string of impressive performances at the Under-16 World Cup.
Talks are understood to have been opened regarding the prospect of the teenager joining the White Hart Lane outfit when the transfer window reopens.
Osimhen has been the start of the youth tournament held in Chile so far, scoring nine goals. His tally include a hat-trick over Australia in the group stage, and a crucial winner against Mexico to send the Super Eagles through to the semi-finals.
A tall, imposing striker, the scoring sensation is equally adept if deployed in wider attacking positions, though excels as the spearhead of a frontline.
The Ultimate Strikers Academy prodigy is believed to be keen on a move to these shores in an effort to emulate idol Didier Drogba.
