Osimhen told to play under Conte

Napoli legend Alessandro Renica has advised the Super Eagles star about his future and slyly poked fun at his disciplinary issues in the process.

“Osimhen? Conte’s authority can do him good, given that he is a bit undisciplined. If he were to stay, it would be a great championship with Conte. In any case, we are talking about a top player,” Renica told Tutto Napoli.

According to Caught Offside, Chelsea have also returned to talks over a move for the former Lille star. The Premier League club are willing to offer Romelu Lukaku and Cesare Casadei in exchange.
