CHELSEA and Manchester United target Victor Osimhen has reportedly passed a Napoli medical.
RMC claims the Lille star, 21, underwent his tests in Rome ahead of a stunning £74million summer switch to his long-term suitors.
Chelsea and United were both keeping tabs on Osimhen, who has scored 13 goals and assisted five more in just 27 games this season.
But the Nigeria international will instead be heading to Serie A with Napoli and Gennaro Gattuso.
Osimhen can play as a striker or on either flank.
And Napoli will now have plenty of depth across their forward line as they already boast the likes of Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Mertens and Hirving Lozano.

It’s reckoned Osimhen has penned a lucrative five-year contract at the San Paolo.
Indeed, he was so keen to complete a move to Napoli that reports last week claimed Osimhen sacked his agent.

It’s reckoned the representative was demanding extra bonuses which threatened to end negotiations.
But Osimhen will now be moving to southern Italy and could yet be joined by another Premier League target, Brazilian centre-back Gabriel.
Meanwhile, Chelsea continue to press forward with a move for Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Kai Havertz.
And United are looking to wrap up a £109m deal for Jadon Sancho.
A move looks to be getting closer after Borussia Dortmund landed a possible replacement in Birmingham teenager Jude Bellingham.
