Chelsea given new Victor Osimhen transfer price as major striker deal 'very realistic'

The price Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandez in January might come back to bite them as they look to do more serious transfer work over the summer. Todd Boehly made the 22-year-old the most expensive player in Premier League history, paying £106.8m for his signature.

For a player with just 70 senior games under his belt it was a large fee and a risk to take but the early signs of Fernandez in England have been hugely promising. The World Cup winner has already shown flashes of brilliance for two glorious assists and has picked up the pace in midfield quickly.

After such a frantic move the positivity around the former Benfica man is a big boost in what has been a largely disappointing season for the club. There is still hope that the Blues can finish the campaign strongly though and build for next term.
