What Napoli have done to prevent Chelsea completing £128m Victor Osimhen transfer

Chelsea are among the clubs interested in signing Napoli star Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window. The Blues are searching for a new No.9 after selling Kai Havertz to Arsenal in a £65million deal.

Despite the recent arrivals of Christopher Nkunku - who played as a striker for RB Leipzig - and Nicolas Jackson, Mauricio Pochettino is hoping to add a clinical striker to his squad. The Argentine is hoping to drastically improve Chelsea's fortunes next season with the aim of returning to the Champions League and challenging for trophies.

Osimhen was one of the best strikers in Europe last term as he featured 32 times for Napoli, scoring 26 goals. While the Italian giants are desperate to hold onto Osimhen this summer, football.london understands that the Blues are considering a bid which could cost at least £100million.
