Al-Hilal advancing to hijack Chelsea's transfer plans

Al Hilal are advancing to make a lucrative move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen who is one of Chelsea's top targets, as per the French outlet Lequipe

The Nigeria international does not lack admirers, as several Premier League and Serie A clubs are interested to secure his services. Now, it seems that the Saudi Pro League has also entered the race for the skilled 24-year-old.

The Riyadh-based club have turned their attention the Napoli star after failing to advance in their pursuit of Kylian Mbappe. After securing the services of Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Malcom, Al-Hilal are setting new targets.

Osimhen has been strongly linked with Chelsea, as the club's new manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking to bolster the team's attacking options. Manchester United are also eyeing the player, as they are in a dire need of a top-quality striker. 

With a contract expiring in 2025, the Nigerian has reportedly asked for a release clause worth £ 103.8 million from Napoli. It remains a question wether the Italian club will adjust their contract extension offer to their star or not.

Despite many admirers, as for now, no official bids have been submitted for Osimhen.
