The Nigerian forward has been in sensational form for Napoli this season but failed to replicate his form with the national team during the international break.

Osimhen featured in the double-header against Guinea-Bissau, with the Super Eagles wining at home then losing away.

In the Serie A, the 23-year-old has netted 21 goals in 23 matches for the league leaders.

The former Lille attacker has become a cult hero in Naples, with fans dressing like him by wearing his famous mask and even dyeing their hair.

Osimhen could lead Napoli to their first league title since 1990.

Chelsea interested in Osimhen

Sports Brief also reported on Premier League giants, Chelsea reportedly preparing to offer Napoli a sum of £100 million in the summer to secure the services of Osimhen.

The Super Eagles star has been making the headlines this season for only good reasons, having scored many goals for the Serie A leaders across all competitions.

Osimhen is also the player leading the goal-scoring chart in the Italian top flight league with 21 goals, which has helped elevate Napoli into an excellent position.

Osimhen explains Arsenal snub

Osimhen also revealed he spoke with former Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, who wanted the Nigerian striker to move to the Premier League some years back.

The Nigerian striker is one of the hottest stars in Europe this season through his impressive form for Napoli and is also leading the Serie A goal-scoring chart.

It has now been revealed that Wenger was interested in Osimhen when he was 18 years old but could not convince the Nigerian to switch to the English league.
