Thierry Henry has claimed on CBS Sports that he has been insanely impressed by Napoli attackers Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia this season.
The duo have both been linked with moves away from the runaway Serie A leaders this summer, with Chelsea one of the clubs interested in a deal.
Both players have been key members of a side who sit 18 points clear at the top of the Italian league.
Osimhen sits on 19 goals in 22 games in the league this year, whilst Kvaratskhelia has a combined 20 goals and assists in the same amount of games.
Napoli are also in a strong position in the Champions League. They lead 2-0 going into the second leg tonight.
Avoiding heavy defeat could potentially set up a quarter-final tie with Chelsea, after their extraordinary comeback victory over Borussia Dortmund last week.
Henry praises Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia
The potential tie could give the Chelsea staff an opportunity to see two of the most impactful players in Europe up close and personal.
They have already impressed pundits around the world, with Henry claiming the link-up they have is something truly special.
He said: “Osimhen gave him [Kvaratskhelia] the ball, those two, crazy.”
It has been reported recently that their interest in Osimhen in particular is something taken seriously. They have reportedly already opened talks over potentially bringing him in at the end of the season.
A striker in particular is what the club need. Despite Kai Havertz’s recent goals, he has never proven to be the regular contributor in the number nine role.
The Blues will also have the upcoming Christopher Nkunku to deal with. However, the Frenchman has already claimed that he is best playing off a regular striker.
