Drogba tells Osimhen that "PSG is not the club he needs to continue his progress"

Posted : 20 April 2023
Didier Drogba, Victor Osimhen's idol, has advised him against moving to Paris Saint-Germain if he wants to maintain improving as a player.

After a season in which he has scored 26 goals in 31 games across all competitions, the Napoli star is one of the most sought-after strikers in international sport.

The player is valued at well over £100 million, and Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and PSG have all been projected to make a move in the summer.

Drogba, who has served as Osimhen's mentor throughout the years, advises the 24-year-old to avoid Paris.

"If he is really in the sights of a club like PSG, it shows the full extent of his talent and the season he is having.

"But, PSG is not the club he needs to continue his progress," the Chelsea legend said.

Earlier in the year, Osimhen spoke about Drogba, commending his support so far.

"I have always supported Drogba and I have huge love and admiration for him," he said.

"I remember when he scored the equaliser in the 2012 Champions League Final, an amazing header, and the way I celebrated was as though I had scored the goal. My friends knew I was obsessed with Drogba.

"When I scored 10 goals and won the Golden Boot at the Under-17 World Cup in 2015, one of the Nigeria staff showed me a tweet from Drogba. It said 'Congratulations Victor. I wish you all the best for the future.'

"I was shocked. I never believed someone like Didier Drogba would tweet those words to a young aspiring striker. It gave me a whole new motivation to succeed.  

"Trust me, he has been so helpful. One morning last year I woke up and checked my Instagram, and found messages to me from him, complimenting me, but saying I still had a long way to go. It's amazing to be in contact with him.

"I try to model my game on his and there are a lot of things I can take from his game and add to my own, so there is nothing better for a young player.

"He's a hero in his country, he's played to the highest level, won a lot and made African youngsters dream. He's a busy man but whenever he sees my messages on Instagram he replies immediately. It's a great feeling."
