Serie A champions Napoli are preparing to tie Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen down at the club for another season amid reports of the Super Eagles star wanted by clubs like Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.

Osimhen has made it clear that he wants to win the Champions League in the coming season.

“I’ve won one of the most prestigious titles in world football. And I won it with a club that appreciates the little things you do for them.
“Winning the Scudetto is a big one for me. Whatsoever thing that comes after this (will also be) a big one for me, like the Champions League, the League Cup, and all sorts.''

Agbonlahor wants Osimhen at Chelsea

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how former Premier League player Gabriel Agbonlahor enjoined those in charge of Chelsea to try their best to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen this summer claiming that they really need the Super Eagles star.

Osimhen last season recorded his name in the history book at Napoli as he finished as the highest goalscorer with 26 goals and also helped the team to win the Scudetto.

He was also the first African player to win the Golden Shoe award in the Serie A which was a significant record for the Nigerian.

Osimhen is currently in Nigeria where he has been spending his holidays and has visited many places in Lagos.

Gabriel Agbonlahor made it clear that Osimhen is the player Chelsea needs to sign this summer.
