A top sports consultant with strong ties at Juventus has said the Italian giants plan to invest their January transfer budget on one player – Victor Osimhen.

Sports expert Nicola Penta said Juventus are desperate for a proven goal scorer and they could shell out as much as 40 million euros as initial deposit for such a player.

“It’s clear that Juventus’ real target in January is a striker,” Penta told Tuttomercatoweb Radio.

“I would spend all the money in January on Osimhen, who is perhaps the only player Juventus is really close to signing. Maybe an offer of 30-40 million euros upfront plus installments could be made.”

Penta said France striker Kolo Muani has not delivered for Juventus.

“Today, if a team like Juventus want to return to their former glory, they need to acquire certain players or continue with the other players who are delivering the results we’ve seen,” he said.

“They kept trying to make Kolo Muani a player like Osimhen, but he’s not. He had someone supporting him, Spalletti, he needed to prove himself. This guy isn’t scoring goals because that’s not his job. Right now he’s completely confused.”

Nigeria U23 will be without Saudi Arabia-based winger Sani Suleiman for U23 AFCON qualifiers against DR Congo.

Suleiman’s club confirmed that the former Flying Eagles star is injured and so could not honour this national team duty.

He has since been replaced by Nasarawa United forward Prince Bawa Oche.

The U23s will fly out to Lubumbashi today ahead of Friday’s first leg against the home side.

The return leg is billed for Ikenne four days later.

The team will be led by Flying Eagles assistant coach Daniel Ortega.
