Reports suggest that Chelsea are after the Nigerian striker of Napoli

Chelsea have been given an indication that Victor Osimhen could be available in January, talkSPORT reports on Monday.

The Nigerian striker scored 31 goals across all competitions last term and has already netted six times this season thus far. Napoli value him at £120 million, a price tag that would eclipse the British record fee Chelsea paid for Moises Caicedo by the same London club.

The Blues paid Brighton £115 million for the Ecuadorian, who now starts in midfield alongside their £106.8million man Enzo Fernandez. As per talkSPORT, a July move for Osimhen remains more likely for Chelsea, even though their scoring woes up front continue to hamper their results.

Since Didier Drogba left in 2015 and Diego Costa departed in 2017, Blues fans have been waiting for a prolific forward. The 24-year-old was crucial in Napoli's first Serie A title win since 1990, as he scored 26 top-flight goals for them last season.
