Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis insists that forward Victor Osimhen will not leave the club this summer, amid links to Manchester United and Chelsea.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has insisted that there is no chance of in-demand forward Victor Osimhen leaving the club this summer, amid interest from the likes of Manchester United.

The 24-year-old scored the all-important equaliser away at Udinese on Thursday night which sealed the club's first Serie A title since the days of Diego Maradona 33 years ago.

Napoli have also had an outstanding season in Europe - reaching the last eight of the Champions League for the first time in their history - and the Nigerian striker has scored five times in just six matches in that particular competition.

Osimhen's prolific form has put him on the radar of the likes of Man United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain this season, although Napoli chief Aurelio De Laurentiis has ruled out any transfer away for the player.

"I will not sell Victor Osimhen this summer - no way," he told Italian channel Rai Sport when asked about the future of the former Lille and Wolfsburg man.

Osimhen will be looking to add to his 22 Serie A goals so far this term when Napoli host Fiorentina on Sunday evening in Naples - a city which did not hold back in its celebrations for their squad of champions.
