Victor Osimhen will undergo medical tests this week ahead of his expected move to French club, Lille Metrople.
The Nigeria international will replace Portuguese forward Rafael Leao who is set for a €35m move to Italian giants AC Milan in the Lille squad.
According to a report in getfootballnewsfrance.com, Lille and his parent club, Sporting Charleroi have reached agreement on his transfer with Osimhen expected to put pen to paper on a five-year deal once the medical is completed.
Lille will pay €12m plus a bonus of €2m to get their man.
Osimhen joined Charleroi on loan from German club Wolfsburg last August. He scored 20 goals in 36 games for the club.
Charleroi activated their option to acquire Osimhen at the end of the season following his satisfactory performances while on loan.
His impressive showing for the club also helped him make Nigeria’s 23-man list to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
He made just one appearance in the competition as the Super Eagles returned home with the bronze medal.
