Victor Osimhen: Former Chelsea star reveals which club Napoli sensation ‘wants to join’ to leave Arsenal, Man Utd hanging

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has revealed which Premier League club prolific Napoli striker Victor Osimhen ‘loves’ and wants to ultimately join.

The Nigeria international, who has scored 72 goals in 122 appearances for Napoli, has attracted interest from the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the summer transfer window.

A report also emerged on Thursday that Manchester City have joined the race for Osimhen, given long-standing concerns that Erling Haaland could eventually end up at Real Madrid.

Napoli’s president, Aurelio de Laurentiis, has already confirmed that the striker, who has a release clause between €120million (£102.6m) and €130m (£111.2m) in his contract, will leave at the end of the season.

“I’m still Osimhen’s agent, trying to get him to Chelsea! I’ve got 20 per cent of that deal, so I hope it works out!” Mikel said at the Web Summit Qatar on Thursday.
