Chelsea are keen to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer.
The 25-year-old Nigeria international is a target for the Blues and they hope to get the deal done before tomorrow’s deadline.
Chelsea struggled to score goals last season and were overly reliant on Cole Palmer in the final third. The England international needs more help in attack and Osimhen would be a quality acquisition.
The Napoli star has proven himself in Serie A and helped the Italian club win the league recently. He could transform Chelsea in attack. The forward scored 17 goals in all competitions last season and it’s no surprise that Chelsea are keen on him.
He is one of the best goalscorers in European football right now and could make a huge difference to the Blues in the future.
Chelsea’s bid for Victor Osimhen is too low
According to the journalist Gianluca Di Marzioclubs in Saudi Arabia are also keen on signing the player and would be willing to offer him a contract worth around €30 million per season.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have also tabled a contract offer for the player, but the offer is believed to be too low. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea are ready to come back with an improved offer for the player.
They may not be interested in breaking their salary structure in order to accommodate the Napoli striker. It will be interesting to see how the situation evolves.
The signing of a quality striker could be season-defining for Chelsea. They will be desperate for Champions League qualification and will also be looking to end their wait for silverware. A quality striker could make a huge difference to them going forward.
Osimhen has already proven himself in Italy and will be looking for a new challenge. A move to the Premier League would be very exciting for him and Chelsea is certainly an attractive destination.
