We need a top striker. FFP and building a squad was our priority this summer. If we are one top 30 goals a season striker from challenging then Ten Hag will go for Osimhen or another established player. Hojlund might take a few seasons to get there.
Osimhen isn't a top striker in the same tier as Kane, though. He is a safer bet than Højlund currently, but he is also a risk and there is no certainty he would be great in the PL.
Osimhen is great physically, works hard and world class aerially, but he is lacking in many aspects of the game, which even Luciano Spalletti has pointed out.
Ten Hag is going to put his faith in Højlund, and I seriously doubt he would play the first season, only to be benched the next.
Osimhen next season is about as unrealistic as it gets, especially after buying one of the highest rated young strikers for around £70m. We would be in for Osimhen this summer if we were that desperate for him.
Also, I see this that argument often; that we need a 30 goals a season striker. We really don't. Look at Arsenal, for instance, or Liverpool the last couple of years. What we need is for all of our players to contribute with more goals. Our wingers, midfielders, even defenders. It would definitely help with a striker scoring a lot of goals though, so let's hope Højlund hits the ground running instantly.
