Despite extending his contract in the summer, Osimhen who powered Napoli to the league title for the first time in 33 years by scoring 26 goals is largely expected to leave the team by next summer transfer window.
He is on the wishlist of a lot of teams in Europe, but according to Ben three teams are top in the race to sign the 25 year old Nigerian who has a desire to play in the English League, where Arsenal and Chelsea are leading the chase.
Ben said although PSG have him high up their list as a priority signing in the summer with Kylian Mbappe expected to leave the club. The oil rich Qatar backed club won’t however bully the aforementioned English side as they are willing to match his salary demand of around £250,000 a week.

“We still can’t rule out Arsenal in the race for Osimhen. It’s also true that PSG have Osimhen very, very high on their list. I’m still told by sources that Osimhen’s priority is the Premier League, which is encouraging for Chelsea & Arsenal. He would be looking for about £250k-per-week, which Arsenal, Chelsea & PSG would all be happy to pay”, the transfer expert was quoted as saying on GivemeSport.
