VICTOR OSIMHEN INTERVIEW: Napoli's hotshot striker on his love for Didier Drogba, arranging a shirt-swap with Erling Haaland and ending his club's 33-year wait for the Scudetto as Man United and Chelsea circle for the £150m Nigerian star

Victor Osimhen peers into the screen in front of him before giving a thumbs-up and a cheery wave.

It is well into the evening in Lagos but happily for Sportsmail, the Nigerian superstar has been easier to pin down than he is for the unlucky centre-backs tasked with stopping him every week.

A shining light of the European game this season, the Napoli forward is an idol in his native Nigeria and is expected to be one of the hottest properties of the summer transfer market after his stunning performances took his club to the brink of their first league title since the days of Diego Maradona.
