Mauricio Pochettino has been told Victor Osimhen would be 'perfect' for Chelsea despite the imminent return of Romelu Lukaku. The 24-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a number of top European clubs lately following his impressive performances for Napoli.
Osimhen, who sees his contract expire in 2025, has featured 29 times for Luciano Spalletti's side in the Serie A this season, scoring 23 goals. While the Italian giants are desperate to hold onto the Nigeria international this summer, football.london understands that the Blues are considering a bid which could cost at least £100million.
It's said that the west Londoners are in the market for a new striker, with Kai Havertz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failing to perform. Lukaku is expected to have the chance to impress Pochettino upon his return from loan at Inter Milan, but the Belgium international didn't exactly leave Chelsea on good terms last summer.
