Chelsea have reportedly joined the list of clubs pursuing Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray, Soccernet reports.
The Turkish champions are said to have placed a €150 million valuation on the Nigerian forward amid growing interest in his services.
The development follows recent remarks by Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle regarding Osimhen’s absence from Nigeria’s upcoming friendlies against Poland and Portugal.
“Victor Osimhen will not be in our friendly matches against Poland and Portugal. Because there may be a possibility of a club change. Therefore, I preferred him to stay at home. If your mind is not 100% here, going out on the field to play does not create a good situation,” Chelle said.
Osimhen later clarified the situation, maintaining that the coach’s comments had been misconstrued.
