Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles striker, is close to joining Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia for £67.3 million (€80 million), meaning Chelsea will not be getting their hands on him.

Sky Sports reports that Osimhen’s longtime supporters, Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia, have outbid Chelsea for a four-year contract worth roughly £33.6 million (€40 million) every season, or roughly £646,154 per week, tax free. There is also a release provision in the agreement.

The forward, who was formerly with Wolfsburg and Lille, will have a physical with Al Ahli on Friday and will be joining the team that Napoli wanted him to join.
Since then, Osimhen’s successor has been signed by Napoli, thanks to the arrival of Romelu Lukaku, a €30 million deal for the Belgian striker on Thursday.
