After a monstrous season 2 years ago, which subsequently resulted in a Scudetto for Napoli and plenty of individual accolades, Victor Osimhen was one of the most sought-after strikers in world football with plenty of big clubs on his radar.

He decided to stay at Napoli last summer and it has potentially harmed that interest slightly after a more indifferent season. But, many clubs will still be fighting for his signature this summer, with Chelsea, PSG, and Arsenal all seemingly interested at the right price.

Will he be moving to the Premier League, Ligue 1, or maybe somewhere else? Check out Osimhen next club odds with our suggested online betting sites.

Osimhen Next Club Odds

There looks to be one main location in which the Nigerian looks to be heading, if Osimhen next club odds with bookmakers are anything to go by, and that is now Chelsea. But, PSG, Arsenal, and other clubs are seemingly still in the race according to online bookmakers.

Chelsea

Provided the Blues are willing to agree on a fee with Napoli that includes Lukaku in the deal, that's the deal Napoli sem most interested in as things stand. Chelsea may have Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson in their squad, but Osimhen would be a real statement signing and an excelllent replacement for the mostly absent Lukaku.

It would be somewhat disappointing to see Osimhen join Chelsea, a team that won't be in the Champions League next season, but it would be interesting to see how he performs in the Premier League.

PSG

PSG were leading the race for the Nigerian, but a stumbling block of the clause in his contract has meant that their interest has dropped. They may however, if they see Chelsea making a deal for the striker, swoop back in and offer Osimhen and Napoli a deal they cannot refuse before it is too late.

Although the French champions bought Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani only last summer, neither have been particularly prolific. Add to that the fact that Kylian Mbappe has now decided to move on to Real Madrid, there is now a big hole in Luis Enrique's side when it comes to goals.

Osimhen seems an immediate solution to that problem, scoring on average more than a goal every other game since his professional career began, spanning over 220 games in all competitions.

Saudi League

Saudi Arabia would probably not be an ideal move for Osimhen footballing wise, but the money could be too lifechanging to turn down if a club was to make him and Napoli an offer. Currently, no Saudi club in particular has made an offer, but there is still a lot of time left for them to make their move.

Arsenal

Elsewhere, Arsenal are still very much on the search for a striker as they aim to finally get over the line and win the Premier League with Mikel Arteta at the helm. Since Pierre Emerick Aubameyang left the club, the red side of North London has desperately been lacking a striker, with many player there but none being considered prolific.

Kai Havertz led the line throughout last season, but I'm sure the Gunners will be in the market for a centre forward this summer to finally land that out and out goalscorer they are seemingly craving.

Manchester United

Manchester United, if not for the signing of Joshua Zirkzee, most definitely would have held an interest in the 25-year-old, but I'd expect that to cool off now. Moreover, it's unlikely he would have even been interested in a move to the Red Devils after a disastrous season last year, and some clear instability at the club.

Osimhen Says Yes to PSG

It has now been revealed by Fabrizio Romano on Twitter that Osimhen has said yes to PSG and their proposal, with it now requriing more intense talks to get the deal done.

With that, it looks all but set and done where Osimhen's next club will be this summer, especially with PSG not usually having any problems fulfilling wage demands for players.

However, there has certainly been many transfers in the past thart have reached this position and not gone through. There is definitely still a possiblity of the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, or an Italian club hijacking the deal should they be able to agree a larger compensation package for Napoli.

Moreover, plenty of things will still be yet to agreed between the two clubs, meaning it is far from a done deal yet, even if Osimhen would like to make the move to Paris as it stands.

Although Fabrizio Romano has become the go to man for transfers, and is most likely right about this current news regarding Osimhen, as we say there is always room for twists and turns yet in the window. That's not to say the transfer specialist is incorrect, just that things could yet still change regarding Osimhen's next club if other teams were to see this move by PSG as a wake-up call for themselves.

If you do think another club is likely to make a late bid and try for Osimhen now he looks set to move to PSG, the odds could jump up now and give you a huge payout if any decisions were to be altered and he moved elsewhere this summer.

Recent News About Osimhen Next Club

Fabrizio Romano has made it clear that after recent talks, PSG are not currently planning to continue pursuing Osimhen because they're unwilling to pay the clause in his contract.

Osimhen is keen to leave Napoli regardless, and could even accept a move to the Saudi League if the PSG deal is to completely fall through and that remains his only alternative.

Napoli are keen to include Kang-in Lee in the deal for Osimhen, but PSG have said no. Meanwhile, it looks like Romelu Lukaku would be the man to replace Osimhen once a deal can be sealed for the Nigerian to leave the club this summer.

Napoli Open To Including Osimhen in Lukaku Deal

Napoli are rumoured to be willing to include Osimhen in any deal for Lukaku from Chelsea, who they are pursuing aggressively in the transfer window. This is being reported by Romano on X (see below), who has announced the news that Napoli would potentially do a deal with Chelsea that would see Osimhen move to the Premier League club, and Lukaku the other way.

Although Osimhen had previously said yes to PSG, with no headway made since talks broke down preivously, it now looks much more likely that the Nigerian will make a move to Chelsea. This makes sense seeing as Napoli are hellbent on getting their man in the form of Belgian striker Lukaku, who will be their replacement for Osimhen.

However, it will now depend on whether or not Chelsea wish to take up Napoli's offer and include Osimhen in a deal that sees Lukaku go the other way.

The deal will require Chelsea to pay a fee as well to Napoli, seeing as Lukaku's transfer value is deemed lower than the Nigerian, especially with Blues desperate to offload their record signing and leaving him to train in England while the first team have travelled to the US on a pre-season tour.

The reason why the Italian club might be interested in including Osimhen in any deal that sees them receive Lukaku is because they need to make player sales to bring in the Belgian, and Chelsea want around £30m for the striker.

With the news, Osimhen has been slashed to odds of 4/9 with William Hill to move to the Blues, when he was an incredible 10/1 within the last week, showing what a difference it makes with one small announcement and things falling into place.
