A journalist, Rudy Galetti, disclosed recently that the London club is looking to secure the Napoli man’s signature in the coming transfer window.
Galetti wrote on his verified X (formerly Twitter) page:
“Victor Osimhen is always a main target for Chelsea to strenghten the attack: an agreement with the player would not be a problem, as he would like to join Chelsea.
“As told, the club is willing to meet his release clause, but only negotiating payment terms with Napoli.”
Osimhen, the reigning African Footballer of the Year, has scored 13 goals across all competitions this season and his arrival could mark a significant upgrade for the former English champions, providing a reliable long-term solution in the attack.
