"Chelsea set their sights on Victor Osimhen

"Chelsea are monitoring the situation around Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who has fallen out with his club, talkSPORT reports.

According to a source, Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino has already asked his club to buy the striker in January.

Earlier, Brentford's Ivan Toney was linked with a move to Chelsea, but now the Blues have another option in the form of Osimhen, who previously looked like an unattainable target.

The other day, Napoli made fun of Osimhen's penalty miss in the Serie A match against Bologna on their official TikTok account. This post really offended Victor.

The day before, the 24-year-old Nigerian's agent even demanded an apology from Napoli and threatened the Italian club with a lawsuit.

The incident comes after Osimhen scored 31 goals in all competitions last season and helped Napoli win their first Serie A title in 33 years.

According to rumours, Osimhen could now leave Napoli when the transfer window reopens, and talkSPORT claims that Chelsea are closely monitoring how the situation around Victor plays out.
