There are only a handful of clubs who could possibly afford Osimhen, who has scored 15 goals in 22 games for Nigeria.
“I don’t think his point of view is surprising, considering the perception that the Premier League is the best in the world.
“In the Premier League, clubs can make the most money – with the exception of PSG, Real Madrid or Barcelona to some extent,” said Horncastle.
Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, PSG and Real Madrid are just some of the teams that have been linked to the striker recently.
Osimhen is a regular in the BBC gossip column.
The Blues could be a possible destination, with Graham Potter’s side having spent £289m on signings in January alone.
However, the club still needs a proper striker.
Also, no Chelsea players have hit double figures yet. More so, their only fit striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored three goals. He was left out of their Champions League squad.
On top of that, Victor Osimhen has continually spoken about his love for a Blues icon and African striker Drogba.
“I took Drogba as my role model while I was growing up and that has been the guiding light,” he said in 2021.
“Watching him a lot and the kind of mentality he has has really helped me a lot to get to where I am today.”

Also, Manchester United are thought to be desperate for a striker – with Cristiano Ronaldo gone, Wout Weghorst only on loan and Anthony Martial having had injury problems.
