Chelsea and Arsenal handed Victor Osimhen summer transfer hope after Napoli admission

Chelsea and Arsenal may have been handed some hope in the race to sign Napoli star Victor Osimhen in the summer, having failed to rule out a possible switch. It comes as both London clubs have been linked with the Nigerian international after an incredible season so far.

The 24-year-old has 22 goal involvements in 19 appearances in Serie A this campaign, helping guide the Azzurri to the top of the league and chasing a first Scudetto in years. The striker could be the answer to Chelsea's goal scoring woes as of late, having struggled to find the back of the net under both Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter.

The club broke their club-record signing in 2021 to bring Romelu Lukaku back to the Premier League, though his move hasn't worked out as anyone had planned. With just one goal in February and struggling to convert decent expected goals (xG) figures into actual goals, it's clear where one of the main issues remains.
