Chelsea have received a major blow in the pursuit of Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian is on the verge of joining another club in Premier League. The deal can be completed this month itself.
Chelsea to miss out on Osimhen once again?
The Blues have been long term admirers of Victor Osimhen. They tried very hard to sign the Nigerian in summer. But, none of the efforts mattered. In the end, the 25 year old joined Galatasaray on loan.
Napoli are keen to part ways with Osimhen as he is no longer in their plans moving forward. Chelsea are still showing interest to sign him despite being snubbed in the summer.
Nicolas Jackson has been in superb form but the West London club is desperate to add another striker. However, it seems that they will miss out on Osimhen as the Nigerian is close to joining their rivals.
Osimhen close to joining Man United this month
According to ThePapers, Osimhen is likely to join Man United this month. The Nigerian will finally be able to fulfill his dream of playing in the Premier League. He will be one of the highly earning players in English league.
Napoli have shown interest in signing Marcus Rashford. Rashford has fallen down from the favour of new United boss Ruben Amorim. He has missed many games recently and is very likely to move away from Old Trafford.
A swap deal will make United’s path of signing Osimhen very easy. As per the reports, the Nigerian’s camp has said that Osimhen will wear Red jersey in England and some moves have already happened.
Amorim will like to add some quality attackers to their squad this month itself. The Red Devils are falling short of options and struggling really hard in the final third. Osimhen is in fine form and has already scored 12 goals and picked 4 assists in 15 games this season. He has the potential to solve all of the club’s current problems.
