What the game detects is play! Victor Osimhen, a target for Chelsea, meets “idol” Didier Drogba prior to the AFCON match between Ivory Coast and Nigeria. They give one other a warm embrace.

Victor Osimhen embraced his “idol,” Didier Drogba, prior to Thursday’s Africa Cup of Nations match between Nigeria and Ivory Coast.

The former Ivorian great and the Nigerian hitman from Napoli met in the players’ tunnel prior to the sides taking the pitch. Drogba put his arm around Osimhen, and the two shook hands, hugged, and chatted before heading their own ways.

Osimhen was bound to be ecstatic to learn that the legendary player from Chelsea will be participating in the Africa Cup of Nations in his country of hero worship. I never missed a Didier Drogba game when I was younger, so life is weird,” he said in a recent statement. I adopted his every move as second nature, and I would celebrate with him when I defeated my friends. Being able to take part in AFCON in my hero’s native country is an honor for me. This reminds me of Olusosun, the young lad with lofty ambitions to become the champion of Africa, for whatever reason.Drogba may have taken advantage of the circumstances by convincing Osimhen to sign with Chelsea. The striker may attempt to follow in the footsteps of his idol by joining him at Stamford Bridge. It has been suggested that he has ties to the Blues. Drogba won four Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League titles while he was a player for West Ham United.

Osimhen, 25, is anticipated to sign a new contract with Napoli that will keep him there until 2026. This puts the likelihood of a deal to Chelsea this month extremely low. He will be totally focused on helping his country win the 2023 AFCON and its first continental trophy since 2013.
