    BREAKING NEWS: According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea Football Club is set to sign a top-tier striker despite their less-than-ideal performance in the Premier League.

    Recent reports indicate that Victor Osimhen, the talented forward for Napoli, is poised for a move to the Premier League this summer, despite interest from Paris Saint-Germain.

    It is anticipated that the Nigerian international will depart from Napoli at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, with the club looking to enforce his release clause, which is estimated to be between €120-130 million.

    At 25 years old, Osimhen has emerged as a primary target for Chelsea ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

    Chelsea is eager to secure a prolific goal-scorer with a proven track record in European competitions, aiming to address the inconsistency issues surrounding their number nine position.

    The underwhelming performances of Kai Havertz and Timo Werner during their tenures at Stamford Bridge, along with Nicolas Jackson’s struggles to establish himself as a consistent scorer this season, have intensified Chelsea’s pursuit of Osimhen.

    While Jackson has shown flashes of brilliance since his transfer from Villarreal, he lacks the predatory instincts demonstrated by Osimhen, leading Chelsea to actively pursue a deal to acquire the Nigerian striker during the summer transfer window.

    The possibility of Osimhen joining Chelsea received a significant boost following Matteo Moretto’s recent revelation.

    Moretto disclosed that Osimhen continues to prioritize a move to the Premier League, despite being linked with Paris Saint-Germain.

    While Osimhen has been considered a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe at Parc des Princes, Moretto emphasized that a transfer to the English top flight seems to be a more realistic scenario for the Napoli star.

    In the current Serie A campaign, Osimhen has showcased his prowess by scoring 12 goals and providing two assists in 19 appearances.

    Additionally, he has contributed two goals in the UEFA Champions League.

    Despite interest from Arsenal in a potential move for Osimhen, reports suggest that Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres is currently their primary target.

    Consequently, Chelsea appears to be in pole position to secure Osimhen’s services during the upcoming summer transfer window.
