‘Drogba would forever be my idol’ – Napoli’s Osimhen dreams of meeting Chelsea legend

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is looking forward to meeting Chelsea legend Didier Drogba who he described as his ‘forever idol’.

The Nigeria international disclosed that he has been an admirer of the four-time Premier League champion since his early years in Lagos.

Osimhen was recently backed to surpass Drogba's feat by his former Nigeria coach Emmanuel Amuneke after his goalscoring exploits in France where he scored 18 goals in his first season with Lille.

As he awaits the dream of meeting the former Galatasaray and Marseille forward, the 21-year-old relishes playing at the Stadio San Paolo where Diego Maradona enjoyed success during his playing career.
