Chelsea's sneaky Man United-inspired scouting trip for dream striker that's not Victor Osimhen

Chelsea are reportedly set to battle Manchester United for Benfica star Goncalo Ramos. The Portguese forward burst onto the scene at the World Cup with a remarkable hat-trick against Switzerland and has now been tipped to become the next big name to leave the club.

Following in the footsteps of Enzo Fernandez, Joao Felix, Renato Sanches, Darwin Nunez, Angel Di Maria, Bernardo Silva and Ruben Dias, the 21-year-old is seen as one of the leading young players in his position across Europe. With 17 goals in the league this season he is now attracting attention of the top teams.

With the striker market an already competitive one heading into the summer, Chelsea are expected to be among the sides battling for an out-and-out No9 at the end of the season. Their limp total of 29 goals this season has them on course for their lowest ever tally since the Premier League's introduction.
