Lille star Victor Osimhen surprises Everton fans with stay at home challenge video

Lille striker Victor Osimhen has raised eyebrows by posting a video wearing an Everton shirt.

The 21-year-old has been in great form this season, bagging 14 goals and registering four assists across 27 Ligue 1 appearances across 2019/20 so far - while also scoring twice in the Champions League.

Those displays have seen the forward linked with a potential move away from France in the summer, with reports suggesting both Liverpool and West Ham are showing interest from the Premier League.

But the player's latest post on social media has got Everton fans talking instead.

Osimhen, an international teammate of Blues star Alex Iwobi, took part in the "stay at home challenge" - which has seen a number of footballers perform keep ups with toilet roll inside their homes in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

And the Lille striker posted a short clip of himself performing the trick while wearing an Everton top.

That has raised the eyebrows of supporters, although some have pointed out the shirt could be a gift from Iwobi.

Osimhen has scored four goals in his eight appearances for Nigeria.
