According to Sky Sports, Chelsea are among a host of clubs monitoring Lille striker Victor Osimhen, who scored against the Blues in our Champions League meeting in October.According to the broadcaster, Liverpool and Tottenham are also eyeing the young Nigerian who is expected to stay at Lille for the rest of the season unless the French club receives a January offer that is too good to refuse.‘The 20-year-old is said to be happy at Lille and his priority is to help them secure qualification to next year's Champions League, while continuing to develop his game,’ states the report.‘The club are currently third in Ligue 1, four points behind second-place Marseille but 11 behind league-leaders Paris Saint-Germain, and Osimhen has scored 12 goals in all competitions so far.‘Two of those came in the Champions League, including one against Chelsea in a 2-1 home defeat.’Osimhen may have a soft spot for the Blues after he admitted in an interview with France Football earlier this year that his disappointment at watching John Terry miss a penalty for the Blues in the 2008 Champions League final motivated him to become a professional player.
