Victor James Osimhen MON MFR is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club Napoli and the Nigerian national team. Born in Nigeria, Osimhen began his senior career in Germany at VfL Wolfsburg in 2017. Just a day after French giants Paris Saint-Germain expressed their intention to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli by making a €90m plus €40m first offer, Premier League club, Chelsea, have also tabled an offer of €90m plus Romelu Lukaku for the Nigerian striker, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Osimhen had only signed a new contract at Napoli at the start of the year, with his release clause set at around €130m but that has not deterred interested clubs from making offers for the coveted striker. Following impressive seasons with the Partenopeans, the Super Eagles striker has emerged as one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe. However, according to Il Corriere dello Sport, PSG are favourites in the hunt for the 25-year-old as they see the Nigerian as the perfect replacement for Real Madrid-bound Kylian Mbappé.

The French champions however face competition from Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool, who are also expected to launch their bids for the player in the coming days. Sky Sports Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio wrote that Chelsea had approached Napoli to ask about Osimhen as well. According to the Italian, the Blues are hoping to lower the cost by including Lukaku as part of the deal. “Not just PSG on Victor Osimhen. "For the Nigerian striker, the French can soon open negotiations with the Neapolitans, who however have also had initial contacts with Chelsea in the meantime,” Marzio said. The 25-year-old has been in fine form for Napoli, guiding the Serie A club to their first league victory in 33 years with a league-high 26 goals in 32 Serie A games last season and 31 goals across all competitions.

One thing is certain, of Oshimen goes to Chelsea, the level of pressure he'll get will make him to constantly get injured or better still that will mark the end of his career but I wish him well.... to me Arsenal or real Madrid is the Best destination for him.

This useless club again? Osihmen should not go to Chelsea because they're known for killing player's career
