Chelsea’s biggest area of weakness is their lack of a world-class striker, but according to recent reports, that could change in time for next season.
That’s according to a recent report by 90min’s Graeme Bailey, who claims the Blues have made Napoli’s Victor Osimhen their “main target” ahead of the summer transfer window.
Chelsea make Victor Osimhen the striker’s main target for 2023.
They have been following him closely since last summer and firmly believe that he is the best option for them.
A tough deal to make, but if anyone can pull it off… @90min_Football with @TomGott2

Having scored 17 goals in 21 games so far this season, the 24-year-old Osimhen is certainly one of the fittest strikers in Europe, and would certainly be an improvement over Kai Havertz, who has never really worked. as a lone striker.

Although Nigieran’s contract does not expire until 2025, following his impressive campaign, speculation that he could leave Napoli before then has already begun to mount.
Also linked with Manchester United, according to ESPN, Osimhen is valued at up to £90m (€100m), but as Bailey rightly points out, even though a future deal for Napoli’s prolific number nine would be hard to come by. To conclude, after their recent deals for the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk and World Cup winner Enzo Fernandez, if any club knows how to bring top talent to the Premier League, it’s Todd Boehly’s Chelsea.
Since joining Napoli from Lille in 2020, Osimhen, who also has 23 caps to his name, has made 83 appearances, in all competitions, directly contributing to 58 goals along the way.
