Osimhen is one of those who has been strongest linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.

He said: “Next season, I know you’re gonna come to Chelsea. I’m telling you, I’m gonna be the agent to broker that deal. I’m gonna make sure that happens. We are crying out for someone like you — since Didier Drogba left the club.

“We are crying out for someone to give us goals and that’s something you would give us. Saudi can wait, give us two, three, four years at Chelsea. Next season, I hope you come to the club.

“Living in London, we don’t have the best weather, but everything else is amazing. Trust me. The club, people at the club, the training ground, everything is absolutely amazing.”

Another name who has been frequently linked with a move to Stamford Bridge is Ivan Toney, who many expect to be on the move from Brentford in the next two windows.

Arsenal have also been linked with a deal for the Englishman, however the Blues do seem to favour a move for Osimhen if the opportunity arises.
