Osimhen has been linked with a number of top Premier League clubs after his successful loan spell at Galatasaray.
Effectively banished from Napoli last summer by Antonio Conte, Osimhen made the switch to Galatasaray and helped the Turkish club win the league title with 37 goals in all competitions.
Osimhen only joined Galatasaray after a deadline-day move to Stamford Bridge fell through, much to the frustration of the Chelsea delegation that had travelled out to Naples to agree a deal.
Chelsea have again been linked with Osimhen this summer despite already spending £30m to sign Liam Delap from Ipswich Town.

The Blues are keen to bolster Enzo Maresca’s attacking options with at least one more forward and have internally discussed a fresh move for Osimhen.
The 26-year-old has also emerged as a potential target for Manchester United and Arsenal but it appeared as though the Premier League sides would all miss out as he edged closer to a move to Saudi Arabia.

Napoli agreed a £63m deal with Al Hilal but Osimhen has now rejected the Saudi giant’s proposal and the move has fallen through, according to Fabrizio Romano.
That will be welcome news to potential suitors for Osimhen, who scored more than a goal every two games for Napoli before being exiled by Conte.
