Victor Osimhen has responded to fans on social media with the clearest hint yet that he will join a Premier League team in the future.
Osimhen, who scored an incredible goal for Napoli, has been the subject of intense transfer speculation.
Last season he scored an incredible 31 goals in just 39 games across all competitions, and this season he has eight goals.
The star striker signed a new contract on Christmas Eve that will see him run to the Serie A champions until 2026.
Despite signing a contract extension with the club, the 25-year-old is closing in on the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and a club in Saudi Arabia.
It goes without saying that Chelsea are looking for a new No.
9 despite their attacking difficulties.
And Osimhen has excited Chelsea fans ahead of a potential transfer with a threatening reply to a supporter who wished him a happy birthday.
An X user supporting Chelsea wrote: “Happy birthday Victor Osimhen.
Please come soon and save Chelsea.
” In response, the player joined forces with two heart emojis.
I replied with one emoji.
Osimhen’s future appears to lie outside Italy, with veteran agent Dario Canovi expected to leave Napoli next summer.
“Napoli have been in a difficult situation since the start of the championship.
“In my opinion, the departure of (Luciano) Spalletti and (Cristiano) Giuntoli is the cause of this situation,” he told TMW.
“After we let them go, the club was practically slaughtered.
They were the cornerstone of a winning Napoli.
” Giuntoli, especially Spalletti.
“Osimhen is a renewal who will only raise the price.
In my opinion, he will leave in June.
” The Nigeria international made a name for himself at Lille before Napoli paid him a club record 61 million.
He was able to secure his role with a transfer fee of 1,000 pounds.
He could command a transfer fee of up to £100m.
