Victor Osimhen is keen on joining Chelsea, the Evening Standard's Nizaar Kinsella reports. The Nigerian is a big fan of Didier Drogba and wants to try himself in the Premier League.
The club is aware of the striker's desire to move to the Bridge. However, getting him out of Napoli would be extremely difficult.
First of all, Napoli are not going to entertain any offers in January; secondly, their president De Laurentiis is described as a 'notoriously tough negotiator'. He wants 'well over £100m' for Osimhen.
Despite that, Chelsea see the 24-year-old as a priority target and have been 'encouraged' by the forward's openness to joining the club.
Osimhen scored 26 goals and proided four assists in 32 Serie A games last season. He has six goals in eight league appearances so far this term.
