Chelsea have gained ground in their hopes of signing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer despite the Blues facing competition from Manchester United on the transfer front.
Osimhen is certain to be one of the most sought-after names in the market over the summer with the 24-year-old forward putting out dazzling performances in the Serie A where Napoli are on course to clinch title-winning glory.
He boasts of an incredible 21 goals in 23 top flight appearances this season which has helped Napoli establish a mammoth 19-point lead at the summit and courted interest from some of the biggest clubs across the continent in his signature.
According to a report from the Evening Standard, it is claimed that Chelsea are being considered as strong contenders to lure the Nigerian forward to Stamford Bridge later this year but Napoli are unlikely to make Chelsea’s pursuit an easy task.
The Serie A table toppers are expected to seek a hefty asking price to part ways with their in-form talisman who could be on the move only if his suitors fork out a fee in the region of £88m to £132m.
