Chelsea are keen on signing Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen next year despite failing to secure his services this past summer, BSNSports.com.ng has sourced. 

Recall the West London outfit failed to get a deal done, and he eventually moved to Galatasaray on loan. According to Caught Offside, the Blues retain an interest in signing the Nigerian international, and they are expected to make a move for him in the near future. The striker joined Turkish outfit Galatasaray on a loan deal for the remainder of the season, and it remains to be seen whether he can impress in Turkiye over the next few months. Chelsea are in desperate need of a quality striker, and the 25-year-old would be a quality acquisition for them. Osimhen is undoubtedly one of the best strikers in European football right now, and he has helped Napoli win the league title recently. The player will be keen on joining a big club, and the opportunity to play for Chelsea will be hard to turn down. Even though they have had mediocre seasons recently, they are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them will be quite attractive. The 25-year-old Nigerian international has already proven himself in Italy, after scoring 17 goals across all competitions last season and he will look to test himself at a higher level in English football.
