Serie A top striker confirmed to join Chelsea

Victor Osimhen will likely be getting a move away from Napoli in the next few months.

The Nigerian is entering the final 18 months of his contract with the Italian champions, and he’s attracting a lot of interest from throughout Europe at the moment.

Chelsea and Arsenal have been strongly linked with a move for the striker for a little while now, and according to Janusz Michallik, speaking on ESPN, Osimhen is much more likely to sign for Chelsea.

The pundit says that a move to Chelsea makes the world of sense for Osimhen as the Blues finally look to solve their long-standing striking issue.

“This is no longer a rumour, this is a fact. I’m saying it. Chelsea need a new striker, Osimhen has been in the rumour mill before. It won’t be cheap and who knows if De Laurentis will let him go, but I just think this is going to happen. A last ditch effort from Chelsea because who else are they going to get?” Michallik said.

Whether or not Osimhen ends up joining Chelsea remains to be seen, but it has to be said that this is a move that would make the world of sense.

The striker isn’t going to be cheap, but if there’s any club in world football who have proven that they’re ready to splash the cash, on a player like this, it’s Chelsea.

Of course, Arsenal are also keen, but the Gunners don’t spend in the same way Chelsea do, and they’re also not as desperate for a striker as Gabriel Jesus showed yet again this week that he still has plenty to offer any team competing for major honours.

Don’t be shocked if Osimhen does end up at Chelsea in January or next summer.
