The Sweden winger also has a good relationship with compatriot Alexander Isak and his best friend is William Osula, who is Newcastle’s back-up striker. The development is also good news for Manchester United, who would be due up to £8m of the fee due to a sell-on clause inserted in the deal to sell the player to Forest in 2023.

Osimhen should be plying his trade at a bigger club, but top European clubs have refused to take the punt, leaving Saudi Pro League sides and Galatasaray.
