Victor Osimhen: Chelsea in Danger of Missing Out on Napoli Striker As Arsenal and PSG Circle

• Chelsea fear losing out on signing Victor Osimhen this summer
• PSG or Arsenal are reportedly frontrunners to land the Nigerian
• Blues legend, Didier Drogba, has been trying to lure the Napoli star

Chelsea's hopes of securing Victor Osimhen's signature this summer have reportedly taken a hit, with both Arsenal and PSG emerging as frontrunners in the race for the coveted Napoli forward.

Osimhen is on the brink of a move away from Serie A champions Napoli, with several top clubs vying for his services.

The striker's representatives have exerted extensive efforts to assess the best options for his future once the current season concludes.

Chelsea have invested significant effort into persuading the Nigerian international to join their ranks at Stamford Bridge next season. However, there is growing concern that they may lose ground in the pursuit, as reported by Team Talk.

Former Blues, including former Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba, have been actively engaging with Osimhen, trying to pursue him to join the club. Despite these efforts, PSG and Arsenal have also intensified their pursuits and have reportedly held discussions with his representatives.

Reports suggest that PSG are becoming increasingly confident of securing the attacker's signature, buoyed by their ability to meet wage demands. Chelsea, on the other hand, are reluctant to exceed their wage limits.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are actively exploring options to bolster their attacking lineup, with the Super Eagles talisman prominently featuring on their radar.

However, French football star, Emmanuel Petit, weighed in on the matter and claimed that Osimhen is more inclined towards Manchester United or PSG than Mikel Arteta's team.

The Red Devils' recent acquisition by Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the INEOS group, as reported by Sky News, could be followed by a 'statement signing'.
