Chelsea have been handed a huge boost towards the signing of Victor Osimhen, with Mauricio Pochettino eager to further bolster his frontline this summer. The 24-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a big move to the Premier League recently following his title-winning performances for Napoli.
Osimhen featured 32 times for the Italian giants in Serie A this season, scoring 26 goals. While Napoli are, understandably, desperate to hold onto the Nigeria international, football.london understands that the Blues are considering a bid which could demand a record-breaking fee.
The west Londoners have struggled to truly replace Didier Drogba, and only Diego Costa or Olivier Giroud have managed to enjoy a slice of his success. Kai Havertz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are expected to depart this summer, so Pochettino is said to be in the market for a new talisman.
