Speaking to Sportsmail, Osimhen, who currently plays for Napoli, said he has always supported Drogba while growing up as a young footballer.

“I have always supported [Didier] Drogba, and I have huge love and admiration for him.
“I remember when he scored the equalizer in the 2012 [UEFA] Champions League Final, an amazing header, and the way I celebrated was as though I had scored the goal. "My friends knew I was obsessed with Drogba,” Osimhen said.
He added, “When I scored ten goals and won the Golden Boot at the Under-17 World Cup in 2015, one of the Nigerian staff showed me a tweet from Drogba. It said, ‘Congratulations, Victor. I wish you all the best for the future.'”

Osimhen has a huge decision to make this summer regarding his future at Napoli.

The Nigerian international has been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea, Manchester United, and Paris Saint-Germain.
