The Nigerian striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, is arguably the most sought-after forward in Europe and will no doubt cause a bidding war this summer.

Former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has spoken about Osimhen's future and believes the former Lille man will be an excellent addition to Enzo Maresca's team.

“My concerns with Victor Osimhen would be with his personality and character. It can be a great thing for the team if it fits in, but it can also be difficult in other teams.

Victor Osimhen celebrates a goal for Galatasaray.

“We all know his qualities and what he can bring to the team, he can score goals and bring character, he reminds me of Diego Costa in that sense, he is a fighter.

Osimhen has scored 35 goals in 40 appearances for Galatasaray this season and will certainly be an instant upgrade in the centre-forward position for Chelsea, should he complete the move to Stamford Bridge this summer.

There are other teams actively involved in the race for the Super Eagles striker including Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal, and it remains to be seen where he ends up when the transfer window opens.
