The Nigerian is expected to leave the Serie A champions at the end of the season and his representatives are already in contact with interested clubs.

Arsenal , Chelsea and PSG are in the pursuit of his services, but it is reported that the Blues have a big advantage over their rivals.

Osimhen was a boyhood Chelsea fan and he is reportedly keen to follow in the footsteps of Didier Drogba , who was his idol.

The news is a huge blow for the Gunners and PSG, who are aiming to land a marquee striker during the next transfer window .

Osimhen has not been at his best this term with nine goals from 19 games, but he continues to remain an elite centre-forward.

The Blues seem to have a head start over the rest due to the player's desire, but he won't come on the cheap during the summer.

Napoli are expected to hold out for his €130m release clause.
