Pundit and former Arsenal striker, Ian Wright has said Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, is likely to move from the Italian league to the Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Osimhen, after helping the Serie A champions win their first ‘Scudetto’ in 33 years, has been linked with European giants such as Manchester United, Chelsea and PSG, but the Arsenal legend thinks the Blues will win the race for his signature.
Wright came to this conclusion during the latest edition of his ‘Ringer FC’ podcast, where he also suggested that the Blues should allow Romelu Lukaku to come back to his ‘unfinished business’.

Napoli value Osimhen at more than £100m, and Wright says he ‘would not be surprised’ if Chelsea brought him to Stamford Bridge.
He said: “I wonder where he’s going to end up? It wouldn’t surprise me if it was Chelsea. Chelsea are going to try and get him I think.”
The ex-England forward speaking on Lukaku’s possible return to Chelsea, added: “The word on the street is that Mauricio Pochettino wants him back.
“He’s got unfinished business here, he’s got massive unfinished business here. If I was him, I would love to know I’m going back there and I can shut a few people up. He’s got to do that. He owes it to himself to try.”
Osimhen has been in outstanding form for the Italian side this season, attracting interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
The Nigeria international recently became the highest-scoring African player in the Italian topflight history after surpassing George Weah’s 46 goals, when he netted his 47th goal of the season against Lazio on Sunday.
