Chelsea appear to be the favorites in the race to sign Napoli star Victor Osimhen at the end of the season, as per journalist Rudy Galetti.

The Nigeria international has been previously linked with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.

PSG have identified Osimhen as a possible successor for departing Kylian Mbappe.

However, Galetti claims the 25-year-old prefers wearing the Blues shirt over any other option.

The striker has 13 goals and four assists in 24 appearances for Napoli across all competitions this season.

His current deal runs until the summer of 2026.
