Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has told The Athletic that his dream is to play in the Premier League.

Chelsea have been one of the sides closely linked with a move for the 24-year-old at the end of the season.

This year has been the one where Osimhen has announced himself as genuinely one of the best in his position.

His Napoli side are already pushing to secure the Serie A title after opening up a large gap at the top of the table, whilst they also sit pretty in the Champions League following a strong first leg lead.

The Nigerian’s numbers speak for themselves this season, and he looks set to be the topic of much interest this summer.

The player himself has already claimed that a move to England is somewhat of a dream of his.

Osimhen dreaming of Premier League move

He said: “I think playing in one of the top five leagues in the world (Serie A) is an amazing feeling for me.

“A lot of people worldwide consider the Premier League as the best and the strongest league but now I’m in one of the best leagues in the world which is the Italian Serie A.

“I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League some day but like I said, it’s a process and I just want to keep on this momentum and continue to do well.”

Goals have been an area the Blues have been notably short of in recent weeks.

The likes of Kai Havertz have not provided the goods this season, despite the numerous chances he has been handed as a result of his appearances up front.

The club will be aware though that any deal for Osimhen would likely again see them smash their transfer record.
