As a bid to fortify their attacking prowess, Chelsea has honed in on Victor Osimhen as the strategic solution to their scoring woes. The London club, grappling with conversion challenges throughout the season, is actively seeking more experienced options to complement current forwards Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja.
The Telegraph reports that Chelsea is now prioritizing a move for Osimhen, the 24-year-old Nigerian striker currently plying his trade at Napoli. With the Blues recognizing the need for a seasoned presence in their attacking lineup, Osimhen emerges as a prime candidate to fill this role.
Osimhen's contract situation at Napoli adds a layer of intrigue to Chelsea's pursuit. Having yet to commit to a new deal, the Nigerian striker could be on the move next summer, given that he will have just a year left on his contract. This potential transfer aligns with Chelsea's strategy to secure top-tier talent to bolster their attacking options.
Returning to action for Serie A champions Napoli on Saturday after a six-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Osimhen showcased his goal-scoring prowess, further solidifying his appeal to Chelsea.
While Chelsea explores various striking options, including Brentford's Ivan Toney and Feyenoord's Santiago Gimenez, the emphasis on Osimhen underscores the club's commitment to addressing its offensive challenges. As the January transfer window looms, the football world eagerly awaits the unfolding developments in Chelsea's pursuit of reinforcements to elevate their attacking capabilities.
