Five alternatives Chelsea could sign instead of Victor Osimhen as Napoli set £107m asking price

Chelsea are set to prioritise a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer after Todd Boehly has already spent over £600million on new signings. The Blues added the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk, Noni Madueke, Enzo Fernandez and Benoit Badiashile to Graham Potter's squad in January.

Chelsea look set to continue splashing the cash on reinforcements in the summer as Boehly plans to add a new striker to Potter's options. Christopher Nkunku looks set to come in after agreeing a pre-contract with the Blues, whilst Malo Gusto will officially become a Chelsea player at the end of the season, football.london understands.

Armando Broja is set to miss the remainder of the season after he suffered a serious knee injury in December, whilst Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looks set for a loan move to MLS side LAFC. This leaves Potter with just Kai Havertz and loanee Joao Felix as options at striker, highlighting the need for a new forward in the summer.
