Hull City, Derby County, Oxford United and Huddersfield Town are lining up January moves for Nigerian striker Rafiu Durosinmi, Footynaija.com reports.
The Viktoria Plzen forward is of interest for several English clibs as he enters the final stretch of his contract and continues to impress after a long injury lay-off, accordin to Football Insider.
Durosinmi suffered an extraordinary double ACL rupture in both knees, ruling him out for 15 months and derailing two proposed transfers to Eintracht Frankfurt and Genk.
But his return has been emphatic. The 22-year-old has hit 11 goals in 24 matches this season, including strikes in both major European competitions, and his overall record at Plzen now stands at 33 goals and 10 assists in 80 appearances.
Both Hull and Derby, flying high in the Championship after strong autumn runs, are expected to strengthen further in January. Oxford United and an ambitious Huddersfield Town are also tracking developments.
Durosinmi, who began his career at Box2Box FC in Nigeria before moving to Karvina in Slovakia and then Plzen in 2023, could be available for around £5.7 million.

With his contract expiring in the summer and his form rising sharply, the Czech club may have limited leverage to resist bids.
At six-foot-four, powerful in duels and increasingly reliable in front of goal, the forward has shown year-on-year improvement since arriving in Europe. His performances have reignited talk of a potential Nigeria call-up ahead of this winter’s Africa Cup of Nations.
