What Osimhen must snub Chelsea
PSG, Arsenal, Chelsea, and even Liverpool have been linked to the 25-year-old with only a handful of Europe's top clubs able to pay the reported release clause of 130m.

Chelsea have been in the forefront for months and fans are questioning if a move to Stamford Bridge is the best for his career.
Recent history has shown that strikers have struggled to thrive at Chelsea.
Alvaro Morata, Romelu Lukaku, Armando Broja, Tammy Abraham, and Kai Havertz all failed to live up to expectations, and even the hugely talented but goal-shy Nicolas Jackson showed early promise but has fallen into the same pattern.

The Blues have struggled to provide the perfect environment for strikers to flourish, and Osimhen's achievements at Napoli are a testament to what he can accomplish in a team that understands his strengths.
Chelsea not the right environment for Osimhen
)
At Napoli, Osimhen has benefited from having an elite creator like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia alongside him. The Georgian winger has provided Osimhen with countless opportunities to score, and their partnership was instrumental in Napoli's success.
However, no one at Chelsea can create at a similar level, and Osimhen would likely find himself isolated and struggling to make an impact.
Furthermore, Chelsea are in a period of uncertainty, with Mauricio Pochettino's future unknown and a squad in flux, the last thing Osimhen needs is to get caught up in a team struggling to find its identity.
A move to PSG, on the other hand, would be a much more attractive proposition. With Kylian Mbappe potentially leaving the club, Osimhen would have the opportunity to replace him and lead the line for one of the biggest clubs in the world, and a team playing in the UEFA Champions League.
The Nigerian would be better off avoiding the Chelsea rollercoaster and bad vibes for the good of his career.
