According to a report from TeamTalk, Osimhen is eager to make a move to the Premier League and has a preference for joining Chelsea.
The report suggests that the Napoli man is inspired by the success of African players in the Premier League, and Chelsea have been leveraging connections with former players Didier Drogba and John Obi Mikel to persuade him.
With Chelsea aiming to address their scoring challenges for a chance at major trophies, Osimhen, who scored 31 goals for Napoli last season, is seen as a quality addition capable of making a significant impact in the final third.
