Chelsea join chase to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen

Chelsea have joined Manchester in the race to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window, according to the Mirror.

The Blues are expected to be busy in the transfer market again at the end of the season as Graham Potter continues to reshape his team for the future.

Chelsea have been one of the Premier League’s disappointing teams this season as they are already out of the title race and face a dauting task to qualify for the Champions League. The Blues are 10 points adrift of fourth-placed Newcastle United after 21 matches played so far.

Since American businessman Todd Boehly took over the club last summer, Chelsea have spent £570m on 16 new players including Wesley Fofana, Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile and Mykhailo Mudryk.

Chelsea paid a British record £107m transfer fee for the signing of Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez from Benfica on January transfer deadline day, however, the spending spree is set to continue in the summer.
