The Nigerian striker looks set to sign a new contract with the Italian club, but reports have stated it may include a £110million release clause.
Chelsea and Arsenal have been sent a huge update regarding Victor Osimhen’s future at Napoli.

So, with that being said, football.london has taken a look at all the latest news on a potential switch.
Chelsea have been sent an update regarding Victor Osimhen’s contract talks with Napoli ahead of the January transfer window. Mauricio Pochettino is looking to sign a new striker in the new year to help solve the Blues’ issues in front of goal.
