Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in the Premier League on Friday, July 17.

Friday morning's Premier League transfer talk news roundup:


Manchester United 'make contact over Victor Osimhen'

Manchester United have reportedly upped their efforts to secure a deal for Lille forward Victor Osimhen.

After netting 17 times during his first season at the Ligue 1 outfit, the Nigerian is expected to be sold to a bigger club in the coming weeks.

There was a suggestion last week that Napoli were on the brink of signing the 21-year-old, who had allegedly requested that Lille consider no offers from other teams.

However, according to CalcioNapoli24, United have made contact with Osimhen's representatives to discuss the likelihood of a change of heart from the player.

Although United are currently well stocked for options down the middle of their attack, Odion Ighalo is only due to remain at Old Trafford until January.

Lille have allegedly made Osimhen available for a fee in the region of £45m.



Antonio Conte 'pushing Inter Milan board for N'Golo Kante funds'

Antonio Conte reportedly faces a difficult challenge to convince Inter Milan officials to finance a move for Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante.

Despite Inter sitting in second position in the Serie A table, Conte is expected to make more changes to his first-team squad during the next transfer window.

That could allegedly lead to an approach being made for Kante, who helped Conte win the Premier League title with Chelsea during 2016-17.

However, according to Sport Mediaset, club officials may not be prepared to pay Kante's wage demands, as well as a transfer fee in the region of £60m.

Although the report suggests that Kante is open to taking on a new challenge, such a financial outlay for a 29-year-old who has had his injury problems may not appeal to Inter's board.

The World Cup winner has been restricted to 24 starts and two substitute outings in all competitions this season.
