Chelsea fans believe Victor Osimhen is on his way to Stamford Bridge after 'agent' Didier Drogba's interaction with the striker at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Ahead of Nigeria's match against AFCON hosts Ivory Coast on Thursday, the teams lined up in the tunnel, where Osimhen and Drogba had a quick catch-up just before the away side went out to warm up.

The two locked in a warm embrace after the former striker grabbed the Napoli star by the shoulder with beaming smiles on their faces.

Osimhen has been linked with an exit from Napoli either this month or in the summer despite signing a new contract with the Italian club.

That contract extension includes a release clause, though, which could be triggered by several clubs including Chelsea.

The Blues have been linked with the Nigeria international, though might have to wait until the summer before they can bring him in.

Nevertheless, meeting Chelsea legend Drogba has given some fans more than enough encouragement to believe that Osimhen is west London-bound.

One Chelsea fan wrote on social media: "The past and future of football."

Another put: "Osimhen is definitely coming to Chelsea."

And a third posted: "Agent @didierdrogba."

Whether Chelsea can clinch a deal for Osimhen remains to be seen, though Mauricio Pochettino would like a striker.

Karim Benzema has been linked in a short-term deal after growing unsettled in Saudi Arabia while Brentford are ready to resist bids for Ivan Toney.

Meanwhile, Blues striker Armando Broja could leave either on loan or permanently this January despite the club's woes up front.

Wolves, Fulham and West Ham have been linked with the Albania international, who has scored one goal in the Premier League this season.

talkSPORT understands Chelsea would want at least £35million for any club wanting to buy Broja outright.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
