Chelsea set sights on 24-year-old sensation as primary January target as star expresses openness to move

Chelsea have set their sights on Victor Osimhen as the primary target for the upcoming January transfer window.

The Telegraph reports that negotiations are yet to commence between the two clubs, leaving the possibility of a deal hanging in the balance.

The 24-year-old Nigerian international has emerged as one of the world's top strikers, making him a potential remedy to the Blues' recent scoring struggles.

Despite securing Nicolas Jackson in the summer transfer window, the West Londoners have faced challenges in the attacking department. Osimhen was pivotal in Napoli's Serie A triumph last season and could offer the firepower Chelsea desperately needs.

However, the reported strained relationship with his current club, highlighted by a controversial TikTok incident, suggests the striker is open to a fresh start in the Premier League.

With an impressive track record of 31 goals across all competitions last season, Osimhen could provide an immediate impact for Chelsea. The question remains whether the London club is willing to meet the Serie A outfit's potential asking price, rumored to exceed £100 million.
