Football transfer rumours: Osimhen courts Chelsea? Nketiah to Palace?

Nothing is certain except death, taxes and Chelsea wanting to buy more players. The club may have over 40 squad members as deadline day looms on the horizon, but it seems they may try and stuff more into their ranks before the door is welded shut (well, at least until the winter window, where the squad may reach 100).

The latest player linked to Todd Boehly’s megasquad is not being pursued by Chelsea, though. Instead, it is Victor Osimhen who is pushing the Blues to make an offer. The Napoli striker had been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia but it is thought he wants to judge Chelsea’s interest. The 25-year-old Nigeria international is waiting for a bid and then he will decide where he plays his football this season.
