In their quest to strengthen their attacking options for the upcoming season, Chelsea FC are reportedly intensifying efforts to secure the services of Victor Osimhen.

According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea are poised to initiate contact with Napoli regarding a potential transfer for Osimhen.

Chelsea’s attack struggled last season, with their top scorer Kai Havertz, who is now on the verge of joining Arsenal, managing only 9 goals in all competitions.

In contrast, Osimhen had a prolific campaign for Napoli, netting an impressive 31 goals in all competitions.

Due to the financial setback caused by their absence from European competitions, Chelsea are offloading players to generate funds for player acquisitions during the current transfer window.

However, Chelsea face significant competition in their pursuit of the Nigerian as Premier League rivals Manchester United and Liverpool have also been linked with interests in the Striker, while Paris Saint-Germain are closely monitoring the situation as well.

Moreover, the Forward’s market value has been put at €150 million, which would make him one of the most expensive players currently.
