Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is keen on a move to the Premier League amid interest from Chelsea.

That is according to journalist Ben Jacobs.

Victor Osimhen has been linked with a move to Chelsea and Jacobs, in his column for Si Phillips Talks Chelsea, has claimed that the 24 year-old is “certainly keen” on a move to England.

According to 90min, the Blues are currently monitoring his situation at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

If Napoli are open to doing business, then Osimhen is likely to be a man in-demand.

The Nigerian is one of the best centre-forwards in Europe. Last season, he scored 31 goals in all competitions for the Serie A title holders.

Victor Osimhen keen on Premier League move

The Premier League is probably the best division in the world, so is it a shock to hear that Osimhen wants to join one of its clubs? Not really.

As for Chelsea, it is not hard to understand why they would want to sign Osimhen. The Nigeria international scores goals and that is what Mauricio Pochettino’s side need right now.

Before their 2-0 win against Fulham last night, they had failed to find the back of the net in their last three Premier League fixtures.

Osimhen, who is “devastating” in certain situations, according to his former manager Luciano Spalletti, would probably not let that happen.

Thanks to Mykhailo Mudryk and Armando Broja, though, Chelsea have managed to end their goal drought in the Premier League. And if the latter can continue scoring, maybe the club will not have to go out and spend £100m on a striker.
