Chelsea target Osimhen favours Prem option

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen wants to move clubs in the summer and is eyeing the Premier League.

The Nigerian is said to be in favor of signing for Chelsea in the off-season, given their huge interest.

The Blues are ready to pay a big money fee to Napoli and then mega wages to Osimhen.

He is said to have a release clause in his contract that is around £103 million.

Discussing his future back in January, Osimhen told CBS Sports: "The rumour is going around about me linked with the Premier League.

“When you're one of the hottest strikers on the globe, you expect this type of thing, and of course, the Premier League is one of the biggest and best leagues in the whole world.

"I'm with Napoli, I signed a new contract. I'm enjoying my time there. I think I've already made up my mind, I already know what I want to do in my career.

"Since I've started, I've been the one making my own decisions and everything is working out well for me. I already know the next step I want to take, so for now I just want to finish the season strong.

"I will [then] go relax somewhere with my daughter, think about my life and then finally come out with a decision that I've already made."
