Chelsea have been handed an update in the transfer race for Victor Osimhen with Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich among the clubs also chasing his signature. The Blues are in desperate need of a new striker with their attacking woes severely prominent this season as their latest Premier League defeat to Brentford further showcased.
Since the arrival of Frank Lampard as interim head coach, Chelsea have scored just one goal, with that strike coming in the 2-1 defeat to Brighton. In 2023, Chelsea have managed just 11 Premier League goals with their season tally at 30. In short, Chelsea need a natural No.9.
One of the options to fill that void is Osimhen at Napoli who has scored 26 goals this season. His contributions and the displays of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have helped Napoli reach the brink of Serie A glory with Luciano Spalletti's side 17 points clear at the top.
