Chelsea have been linked with a summer move for Lille striker Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen, 21, has been in excellent form for Lille this season, scoring 18 goals in 38 games.
The Nigerian international rejected the chance to join Arsenal as a teenager and he has now explained why.
Speaking to The Independent, he said: “I spoke with Arsene Wenger after the tournament ended and he wanted me to come to Arsenal.
“I had a lot of options. Barcelona; Inter Milan; Atletico Madrid; Juventus and the rest.
“Arsenal was a good option but it wasn’t the best at the time. I wanted to start playing as soon as I turned 18.
“I wanted to go to a place where I had time to invest in my game and improve physically. Wolfsburg showed me that possibility.”
