Chelsea target Victor Osimhen has been urged by Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr to leave Lille this summer.

The 18-goal 21-year-old has also been linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham – and Rohr believes that playing at a higher level will help his Super Eagles chances.

He told Le Quotidien du Foot: “Victor Osimhen, I think, will have a very big opportunity to go from Lille, perhaps in the Premier League, to a very, very big club.

“If we have players playing at a very high level for their clubs, our level at the Super Eagles would grow also.

“(But) if he is signing for a very big club – you have seen the clubs ready to buy him now – he is not so sure to play because there’s big competition for the starting places in the team.

“(Although) it would be better to play in a better club than Lille.”
