Chelsea are reportedly eyeing LOSC Lille striker Victor Osmihen. The 21-year-old is one of the players, which Ligue 1 side turned into the hot prospect.

The Nigerian striker has scored 17 times for Lille this season and has been compared to Blues legend Didier Drogba.

Drogba made the leap from Olympique de Marseille to Stamford Bridge at the age of 26, while Osimhen remains just 21. Former Lille player Eden Hazard, meanwhile, joined Chelsea from the Ligue 1 club.

Osimhen spent time in Belgium with RSC Charleroi last season, scoring 19 league goals before joining his current side.

If Chelsea are looking to tap into this rich closure of talent in northern France once again, Osimhen would certainly be a good place to start, claims Football london.
