Victor Osimhen has been told by his idol Didier Drogba that a move to Paris Saint-Germain would be the wrong one to make if he wants to keep progressing as a player.
The Napoli star is one of the most coveted strikers in world football after a season in which he has scored 26 goals in 31 appearances in all competitions.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and PSG have all been tipped to make a move in the summer with the player valued at well over £100m.
And Drogba, who has become something of a mentor for Osimhen over the years, thinks the 24-year-old should steer clear of 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,' the Chelsea legend told Canal+.
'But, PSG is not the club he needs to continue his progress.'
Drogba first first made contact with Osimhen when the latter claimed the Under-17 World Cup Golden Boot with Nigeria in 2015 and he has continued to give advice ever since.
Speaking to Mail Sport about Drogba earlier this year, Osimhen said: 'I have always supported Drogba and I have huge love and admiration for him,' he gushes.
'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.'
