“Drogba would forever be my idol and I’m so grateful to him. Choosing him as a role model has really been helpful since my years growing up.

“I have not met him yet and I’m really looking forward to seeing him and getting one of his signed jerseys; that would really be a dream come true for me.

“Now, playing in a club that used to have Diego Maradona, who is undoubtedly one of the greatest players ever, is inspiring.

''Maradona is an idol here in Napoli and I have seen his pictures everywhere. He is truly the best. To be here and to play on the same pitch of Maradona is another dream come true,'' Osimhen told the Caf website.
