AC Milan have laid the foundations for a deal that will see Charleroi youngster Victor Osimhen join the club this summer before being loaned to French side Lille.

The 20-year-old, who is currently owned by Wolfsburg, joined the Belgian side in the summer on loan with the prospect making the move permanent for €3 million.

Tuttomercatoweb understands the Rossoneri are keen on closing a deal for Osimhen and loaning him out to Ligue 1 side Lille to secure their new recruit game time.

Milan have been implementing a new policy geared toward signing young players for relatively low figures such as Leroy Abanda and Tiago Djalo from Monaco and Sporting Lisbon respectively.

Osimhen was targeted by the Rossoneri during the January transfer window where it is understood the club secured an option on the player for the summer.

The Nigerian international has scored 14 goals in 29 appearances so far this campaign and can play anywhere along the attacking line.
