Didier Drogba and Victor Osimhen linked up after Nigeria Super Eagles sent Cote d'Ivoire home at the AFCON 2023.

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has intensified transfer speculation linking Victor Osimhen to the Blues after linking up with the Napoli icon again at the AFCON 2023. 

Pulse Sports Nigeria can report that Drogba and Osimhen were seen following the latter’s impressive display to inspire the Super Eagles to a 2-0 victory against Cameroon in the AFCON round of 16 on Saturday.

The Super Eagles delivered his best performance yet to help Nigeria’s Super Eagles become the second team to book a spot in the quarterfinal against the Lions. 

Nigeria and Cameroon rekindled their historic rivalry at the AFCON, with Osimhen playing a pivotal role after he assisted Ademola Lookman’s opener.

After the remarkable victory, a video of Drogba alongside Osimhen made its way to the social media platform X.com via the reliable photojournalist, Pooja Media.

With Drogba’s former club, Chelsea, plotting a sensational move for the Napoli man, who is set to leave this summer, the post-match scene could signal a serious intent by the Blues to win the race for the Super Eagles star. 

The Chelsea icon’s ongoing mentoring of his potential successor at Stamford Bridge will undoubtedly fuel more transfer speculation of the African footballer of the year making a switch to join Mauricio Pochettino’s men. 

Nigeria’s main man, Osimhen, has not hidden his admiration for the English Premier League and has made up his mind to leave Serie A come the end of the season.

With Arsenal also in the race for his signature, Chelsea could be looking to take advantage of the budding relationship between their club legend and the Nigerian superstar, who is seen as the heir to his throne at the Bridge.
