Transfer: Super Eagles forward arrives for Lille medicals as Pepe leaves for Arsenal

Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, arrived France on Tuesday for his medical ahead of the proposed move to Lille, Sports Extra reports.

The Ligue 1 club and his Belgian club Sporting Charleroi, have agreed a €12m fee including bonuses for the 20-year-old.

Osimhen will sign a five-year deal with Lille, should his medical examination go successful.

He joined Charleroi on loan from German club Wolfsburg last August and scored 20 goals in 40 games for the club.

He made just one appearance in the competition as the Eagles won bronze at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Osimhen arrives Lille, as their main man Nicolas Pepe departs for Arsenal.

Pepe was in London yesterday to undergo his medicals, sort out his contract and take part in a photoshoot with the Gunners.

The Ivorian forward is expected to be unveiled within days.
