Chelsea Edging Closer To Sign £85M Talisman

Chelsea are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen this summer transfer window.

Osimhen has long been linked with a move to Chelsea. The London club have, however, made “significant progress” in their hunt for the 25-year-old Nigerian, who has scored 21 goals in 35 appearances for his nation.

According to TEAMtalk as claimed by FourFourTwo, the Blues are prepared to include Romelu Lukaku, who has spent the last two seasons on loan in Serie A—first at Inter and then at Roma—as well as one other player as part of the deal.

Trevoh Chalobah and Kepa Arrizabalaga, who played on loan at Real Madrid last season are expected to depart Stamford Bridge permanently this summer, and are believed to be among the possibilities.

Chelsea have had yet another incredibly busy summer transfer window. With three weeks remaining until deadline day, the Blues have already reached double figures for new acquisitions.

Pedro Neto, a Portuguese forward, arrived at Stamford Bridge on Sunday after completing a £54 million transfer from Wolves. The two-time UEFA Champions League winners’ spending, though, doesn’t appear to be finishing there.

As Chelsea look to be nearing their most important off-season acquisition, new manager Enzo Maresca is putting the finishing touches on his team.

They Blues have already spent around £243 million. And with the potential inclusion of Osimhen, that will probably require a further expenditure which will cross the £300 million mark.
