After the remarkable victory, a video of Drogba alongside Osimhen made its way to the social media platform X.com via the reliable photojournalist, Pooja Media.
With Drogba’s former club, Chelsea, plotting a sensational move for the Napoli man, who is set to leave this summer, the post-match scene could signal a serious intent by the Blues to win the race for the Super Eagles star.
The Chelsea icon’s ongoing mentoring of his potential successor at Stamford Bridge will undoubtedly fuel more transfer speculation of the African footballer of the year making a switch to join Mauricio Pochettino’s men.
Nigeria’s main man, Osimhen, has not hidden his admiration for the English Premier League and has made up his mind to leave Serie A come the end of the season.
