Chelsea want incredible Serie A forward – but it’s hard to see how the finances add up

Nizaar Kinsella has published an article this morning emphasising that Chelsea are “strong contenders” to sign Victor Osimhen this summer.

Chelsea think that the Nigerian goal machine – who has a scorching 25 goals in 29 games this season  – could be the key piece of the puzzle to help the Blues reach their potential. We’re got going to go far with players in single figures as our top scorer.

As a player he certainly fits the bill – a dominant, prolific striker who can lead the line and score goals, and at just 24 he’s got room to grow too.

The problem is more the price tag, given our insane spending this year and our struggles (so far) to find buyers for our unwanted first team stars. We will face intense competition to sign him, and with no Champions League football next season, will struggle to compete with some of the other offers on the table for him.
