Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are no longer in pursuit of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as they have not submitted any formal bid.

This comes as a huge boost for Chelsea who have been following the 25-year-old for several months.

The Nigeria international appeared to be heading to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, however, his agent denied such reports, insisting that Osimhen still has a lot to offer in Europe.

The former Lille star is tied to Napoli until the summer of 2026.
