Napoli star Osimhen narrates how Chelsea legend Drogba became his idol

Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has given an account of how ex-Chelsea player Didier Drogba had an impact on him.

The 21-year-old Nigerian joined the Partenopei from Lille in a big-money move and has subsequently been drawing a lot of attention as he is expected to play a huge role in Napoli’s ambitions and targets this season.

Osimhen has often cited Drogba - who built legendary status at Chelsea with his 164 goals and 14 titles that included a historic Champions League win - as the person he looked up to while growing up.
