According to Express, Victor Osimhen is reportedly being courted by Chelsea to join the team during the summer transfer window. The forward for Napoli, who recently stated that he has already chosen his next career move, is anticipated to be busy as the season comes to an end.
In order to fill in until the end of the season, Mauricio Pochettino is keen to bring in a striker as soon as possible. As a result, a number of short-term options are being considered.
Although Nicolas Jackson was signed from Villarreal over the summer with the intention of playing as the Blues’ No. 9 going forward, his performances have not lived up to expectations. The Senegal international looks to be a very raw talent who is not yet ready to meet the demands of the Blues, as evidenced by his eight goals in 23 appearances but underwhelming performance.
Because of this, a striker is anticipated to be Chelsea’s next big-money acquisition, and Osimhen of Napoli has been shortlisted as their top summer target. The Nigerian center forward is reportedly the subject of ongoing talks with the Blues, who want to get his opinion on a potential move, according to HITC.
The 25-year-old has previously been speculatively linked to Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid. It wouldn’t be surprising if other elite teams with sizable transfer budgets show interest in signing him.

Earlier this week, Osimhen revealed to CBS that he has already planned out the next phase of his career. “The rumour is going around about me joining the Premier League,” he said, giving away a big clue about his future. You expect this kind of thing when you are one of the world’s most attractive strikers.
“The EPL is one of the biggest and best leagues in the world. Now I am with Napoli… But I already made up my mind. I already know what I want to do with my career. I already know the next decision I want to take. For now, I want to finish the season strong, relax with my daughter, think about my life and then come out with the decision I have already made.”
