Victor Osimhen puts Man Utd and Chelsea on red alert as transfer comments send both sets of fans into meltdown

VICTOR OSIMHEN has put Manchester United and Chelsea on red alert with his latest transfer comments.

And both sets of fans have been sent into a meltdown as a result.

Osimhen, 24, has set Serie A ablaze this season with 19 goals in just 21 games for Napoli.

The Italian giants lead the title race by a mammoth 15 points.

But Napoli face a tough ask to keep some of their brightest talents this summer.

The likes of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Kim Min-Jae and Stanislav Lobotka have been irresistible at times.

However, Osimhen is regarded as the key cog in the machine.

And plenty of clubs are wondering how high they could soar with his goals next term.

United and Chelsea are both thought to be in the race for Osimhen, who could fetch over £100million.

Napoli who have a history of cashing in at the right moment for a huge fee, are reluctant to sell.

But Osimhen has now opened the door to a Premier League switch by declaring he “dreams” of testing himself in England’s top flight.

Osimhen said: “I think playing in one of the top five leagues in the world (Serie A) is an amazing feeling for me.

“A lot of people worldwide consider the Premier League as the best and the strongest league but now I’m in one of the best leagues in the world which is the Italian Serie A.

“I’m working so hard to make sure that I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League some day but like I said, it’s a process and I just want to keep on this momentum and continue to do well.”

This sent fans of Man United and Chelsea into overdrive.

A United supporter said: “We should not bottle this.”

Another declared: “In the summer we’ll make your dream come true.”

Meanwhile, a Chelsea fan noted: “We desperately want a No9 and have owners who will break the bank. Seems inevitable.”

Another added: “United are a problem but we have agent Drogba.”
