Despite a summer spending hundreds of millions of pounds on many players, Chelsea find themselves without a real recognised striker outside of Armando Broja.
That’s why the rumours suggesting they could go all out on an elite player such as Victor Osimhen have been rather rife, and they continue on Thursday.
Corriere dello Sport have an article about the Nigeria international’s situation in Naples, and mention Chelsea along the way.
The ideal scenario would be for Napoli to tie down their star with a new contract, and while the silence between the two parties ‘has been torn’, there is no real end in sight for the time being.
The two parties ‘remain physically distant’, despite both Aurelio De Laurentiis and the player having dinner together at the club’s Christmas party.
Meanwhile, Osimhen is chasing the ‘economic recognition’ that his status as one of the most coveted strikers in Europe warrants, which the Blues could certainly give him.
One to really keep an eye on.
