Victor Osimhen, who won over fans with an impressive runs in Napoli was over the media and even the news for some time. It is expected that he will move away from Italy in this transfer window. The media say that Chelsea and other clubs from the top of Europe are watching Osimhen carefully.
On the other side, there is a likeable chance that the Blues may avoid missing a ticket to the Champions league next season which could consequently affect Osimhen’s choice. Ever since the transfer of him to Napoli in 2020, he is known to breaking all barriers. There is no doubt that he has shown great efficiency scooping 69 goals while also flying in 17 assists for a total of 121 appearances in all competitions played.

Is Chelsea ready to rise up their bid to match the price for Osimhen?
The French giants who are now in the search of a top striker to replace Mbappe have earmarked Osimhen as their prime target allowing for an imminent bidding war to take place. Chelsea have held negotiations with Osimhen’s agents to have the deal completed, reported. The blues are either to reach the summit, but depending on the buy-out clause, offered by Napoli. The 25 years old, who won a 2019 African Footballer of the Year award, may prefer England as his destination rather than France, where Ibrahimovic has also played and was considered a legend.
It is rumoured that Chelsea are ready to pay the sum of up to £111 million for Osimhen but their sky high aims are taken down by their current situation on the table. However, the Blues sit 18 points behind Aston Villa in the quest for Champions League qualification with only 13 games left to the season.
Nigerians who support the Blues were left gutted following the painful defeat at the hand of Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday. The defeat deprived them a taste of silverware and caused them a lot of problems as they tried to qualify for Europe.
