Since joining Napoli in the summer of 2020, Osimhen has grown to be a key figure at the Diego Maradona Stadium and is one of the reasons the Parthenopeans are on course to win their first league title in over three decades.

In a new development, according to Italian publication, IL Maltino, both Atletico Madrid and Chelsea had their scouts in attendance at the Stadio Mapei – Citta del Tricolore to watch the in-form striker.

“Osimhen has scored for seven consecutive games, first of all, the Azzurri strikers, like not even Gonzalo Higuain and marches at a rate of more than one goal average in the last 14 games (he has scored 16 times).

“Translated, he could touch the primacy of Pipita, on the throne of goal with 36 goals in a single season. The numbers, the records, but also the people. Therefore, it is not surprising that the other night at Mapei there were quite a few intermediaries ready to take notes in the Chelsea and Atletico Madrid.
