Chelsea's sister club, FC Dallas, FC Cincinnati, 4 other teams interested in 18yo Nigerian CB

Relegated Swedish Allsvenskan club Kalmar FF have a fight on their hands to keep hold of teenage Nigerian central defender Vince Osuji.

Kalmar are facing the prospect of losing the 18-year-old in the January transfer window, with clubs in the United States, France, Belgium, Germany and Czech Republic monitoring his situation.

Although Osuji has been linked with a transfer to Chelsea in recent days, allnigeriasoccer.com has learned that he is not moving to Stamford Bridge.

However, Chelsea's sister club in France, Strasbourg are interested in signing the promising Nigerian centre-back.

A pair of Major League Soccer teams, FC Dallas and FC Cincinnati, are also keen on his services. 

Apart from the aforementioned suitors, Osuji is drawing interest from Slavia Prague, Bayer Leverkusen, Anderlecht and Club Brugge.

Kalmar have fixed a price tag of five million euros on the head of Osuji, who was one of the few bright spots in a disappointing season for the club.

He started fifteen games in the Swedish top flight in the recently concluded season, scoring his first professional goal against the champions Malmo in August. 

A product of De Cardinal Football Academy, Osuji has a contract with Kalmar until the end of the 2028 season.
