Napoli striker Victor Osimhen appreciates the support of Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.

Drogba has praised the Nigerian on social media.

After victory over Empoli, Osimhen said: “It's amazing when you wake up or go on social media, see an encouraging message from someone you grew up admiring like Drogba. It's a surprise and of course a big motivation for me.

"I have a smile on my face, because we spoke at length, I love what he did, I appreciate his confidence in me.

"I chose my idol very well and I'm happy about this too!"
