Chelsea is currently in the lead for the £93,000-a-week player who Drogba once described as a ‘great striker’

 Chelsea has surpassed Premier League rivals in the race to recruit Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

According to Il Matino, that is.

What has changed recently about Victor Osimhen and Chelsea? Let’s look at this…

What’s the premise?

Following a meeting with the striker’s representation, all three English goliaths are now reportedly in the lead to sign Osimhen, leading Premier League rivals Manchester United and Liverpool.

If accurate, that is a significant development since Erik ten Hag and Jürgen Klopp can offer the Napoli No. 9 European football next season but Chelsea cannot.

Osimhen, who presently makes £93,000 per week at Napoli, must thus find the financial offer on the table to be quite alluring.

Since arriving to Naples in 2020, the 24-year-old has developed into one of Europe’s top forwards, scoring 31 goals across all competitions to help Napoli win their first Serie A championship in 33 years last season.

Pochettino would be happy if Osimhen went to Chelsea.Mauricio Pochettino would be thrilled if Todd Boehly is successful in closing this transaction, according to some sources.

Osimhen is the Argentine’s top objective this summer, according to an article from 90min, and the South American is eager to work with the Nigerian at Stamford Bridge.

For many years, Chelsea has been without a true No. 9 who serves as both a focal point and a goalscoring outlet.

Any successful team needs to be in this position to be successful, and if Chelsea is in the lead to get Osimhen, the Blues must close the deal quickly since he might make all the difference in the 2023–24 season.

Chelsea’s decision about Mason Mount is currently at a crossroads.

According to every rumor, he has now made up his mind to leave Stamford Bridge, and he has already reached a personal agreement with Manchester United on a potential transfer.

But despite three offers for his talents, there is still no deal in place to guarantee him a transfer to Manchester, and talks appear to have hit a roadblock.

Chelsea ought to consider SanchoThis can entail proposing a trade arrangement between the two teams in order for them to both obtain what they want. Since taking over Chelsea, Todd Boehly has often tried to employ this strategy.

No name stands out more when considering players United may be ready to let go than Jadon Sancho, who they initially acquired for £73 million two seasons ago.

A team like Chelsea wanting to assemble their new-look group for Mauricio Pochettino may find that they would be willing to accept a significantly lower asking price if they were to trade him this summer.

The England international may fill any of the three support positions that the next manager is likely to use behind the striker, including the center position that could lose a lot of depth if Mount leaves.

He also has a ton of experience playing in Europe, which may be very useful for guys like Noni Madueke to draw on in the upcoming seasons.

The 23-year-old’s life has undoubtedly not gone according to plan since he made the move from the Bundesliga, but his statistics when playing for Borussia Dortmund indicate there is still a player with explosive potential in England.
