And according to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport, Napoli are set to hold talks with Osimhen’s side to get a clear idea of what the centre forward is thinking about his future.
Chelsea have suffered a disappointing season and they are keen to get a striker in to solve their goalscoring situation.
Newcastle, who have booked a place in the Champions League next season, are keen to strengthen their team in the summer transfer window and are suggested to want Osimhen to be part of Eddie Howe’s squad.
