Chelsea and Arsenal remain in the race for Victor Osimhen, according to popular transfer expert Ben Jacobs.
Osimhen recently signed a contract extension until June 2026 with Napoli.
Serie A champions are prepared to part company with their star striker who has a release clause in the region of €130m attached to his new deal.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs linked with securing his services over the summer.
Jacobs however said Osimhen’s priority is to move to England at the end of the season. READ ALSO:

“We still can’t rule out Arsenal in the race for Osimhen. It’s also true that PSG have Osimhen very, very high on their list of targets and can move in the market because they will free up money due to Kylian Mbappe’s departure,” the journalist told Givemesport.
“I’m still told by sources that Osimhen’s priority is the Premier League, which is encouraging for Chelsea and Arsenal. He would be looking for about £250,000 per week, which Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG would all be happy to pay.”
