Jorginho has raved about the quality of Napoli centre-forward Victor Osimhen, who’s been strongly linked recently as a Chelsea target.

Osimhen, 24, is a young striker that’s the crown jewel this season in a fantastic Napoli side.

The frontman has 19 goals in 23 games across all competitions so far this campaign, which is why his team are running away with Serie A.

According to the Daily Mail last month, Napoli could demand £100million-plus to sell Osimhen.

Meanwhile, 90min recently said that the 24-year-old is now Chelsea’s top striker target in 2023.

Arsenal midfielder Jorginho, who’s played for both Napoli and Chelsea in his career, has been speaking about Osimhen.

The 31-year-old was blown away by the striker’s ability to make life tough for defenders after facing him.

In addition, he told Napoli’s director Cristiano Giuntoli to sign him.

“I knew Osimhen. I had played against him in the Champions League and he had given a hard time to our defenders. Giuntoli called me before signing him and I told him to sign him straight away, he is very promising and is doing really well,” Jorginho told DAZN, as quoted by Football Italia.

Osimhen looks a defender’s nightmare when you watch him play in Italy.

He’s not had much of a chance so far this season to leave his mark on the Champions League due to injuries, but Napoli kickstart their last-16 tie this evening against Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Nigeria international is such a powerful forward with the pace and physicality to hurt centre-halves.

In our view, there aren’t many better options out there when shortlisting who Chelsea’s next striker should be.
