Chelsea is considering a January transfer move for Napoli's Osimhen
Chelsea has included Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles and Napoli forward, in their list of potential targets for the upcoming January transfer window.
As reported by ESPN, Chelsea is closely monitoring Victor Osimhen, who has maintained his impressive form for Napoli, with six goals in 10 games following his pivotal role in securing the team's first Serie A title last season.
Whether Chelsea will make a January bid for Osimhen remains uncertain, given Napoli's expected demand of approximately £120 million for his transfer.
Osimhen's contract extension with Napoli has been delayed, partly due to a social media incident where the club's official account appeared to mock him after he missed a penalty in a 0-0 draw against Bologna. This drew criticism from his agent, Roberto Calenda, and led to an official apology from Napoli.
While Chelsea exceeded the £1 billion threshold for summer transfers under Todd Boehly's ownership, the team has faced goal-scoring challenges, primarily relying on Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja in the attacking department.
Chelsea is also keeping tabs on Brentford's Ivan Toney, who has garnered attention from Arsenal as well.
