Per a source close to Super Eagles forward
Victor Osimhen who has been scoring goals for
fun for French Ligue 1 side Lille, the talks of a
potential move to Chelsea is way concrete than
initially thought, Owngoalnigeria.com reports.
Osimhen who was watched by scouts of the
Premier League side while in action for Lille
against Strasbourg, a game which he scored to
take his tally to six goals and top of the
scorers chart in France.
The summer signing from Belgium side
Charleroi has carried his form from last season
where he scored 21 goals while on loan into
the season and as expected has caught the
attention of top teams in Europe.
Chelsea are rumoured to be the first club to
register an interest in the 20 year old and their
banking on their good relationship with Lille to
make the deal happen after receiving a positive
recommendation from their legend Didier
Drogba.
According to a source close to Osimhen,
Drogba has tracked the career of Osimhen
since the forward named him as his mentor in
2015 when he took the U17 World Youth
Championship by storm as Nigeria stroll to the
title.
