Chelsea remain optimistic of signing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in the near future with the Blues looking to reinforce their front line.
The west Londoners remain on the hunt for an out-and-out goal scoring option in their squad despite the Todd Boehly-led ownership spending big on recruiting some of the biggest names in world football since they took over at the Bridge.
Accoriding to a report from football.london, it is claimed that Chelsea are amongst the Premier League bigwigs keeping tabs on the in-demand Osimhen who has been a stellar performer for Napoli over the past year.
The 24-year-old striker has less than two years remaining on his current terms with the Serie A holders Napoli and a move away from Italy could be on the cards come next summer should Chelsea and the other interested clubs step up their pursuit.
Mauricio Pochettino will be keen to land a player of Osimhen’s calibre, especially at a time when the former’s start to life in the Chelsea dugout has not gone off to a great start with Chelsea losing two out of their opening four league games.
