Newcastle have reportedly joined Manchester United in the race for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. The Daily Express claim that the Magpies have joined a 'long list' of clubs - including United and Arsenal - in the hunt for the Nigerian's signature.

Osimhen has scored 15 goals in 25 appearances this season, leading Napoli to an unlikely charge for the Serie A title. The report adds that United would likely see the striker as a replacement for Edinson Cavani, with the Uruguayan expected to leave in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur are also thought to be keeping tabs on the 23-year-old. ALSO READ: Man City top new money league as Manchester United fall down the table Elsewhere, United are reportedly interested in bringing Juventus loanee Merih Demiral to Old Trafford.
