Osimhen back in training, rubbishes Chelsea January transfer reports

Victor Osimhen has returned to training for Galatasaray and the Nigerian would be available for the Yellow and Red after the international break.

According to the club, the Nigerian striker has trained separately from the team as part of a special programme prepared for him.

The 25-year-old striker did not play in the UEFA Europa League matches against Rigas and in the Trendyol Super Lig against Corendon Alanyaspor due to injury.

Osimhen has contributed two goals and two assists in three league matches for Galatasaray this season.

Meanwhile, Osimhen has rubbished reports linking him with a January transfer to Premier League side, Chelsea.

Napoli director Mauro Meluso had said the club are open to selling Osimhen to Chelsea this January after a failed summer move.

Corriere dello Sport also stated that the Nigerian forward is still adamant on joining the Blues.

Osimhen, who has a €75 million release clause in his contract, according to Turkish media outlet, Sabah wants to finish the season at Galatasaray.

Sabah says Osimhen wants to play regularly and improve his performance this season and wants to make his final decision at the end of the season.
