Is Victor Osimhen headed to the English Premier League? Rumors are swirling that the Nigerian striker is in serious talks with Chelsea FC for a big-money move this summer.
Multiple sources close to the club have hinted that Chelsea is preparing a bid in the region of €110 million to land the Napoli superstar, who’s been a consistent goal machine in Serie A and a fan favorite in Nigeria.
“Chelsea are desperate for a world-class striker, and Osimhen fits the bill,” says football analyst Joe Aribo.
The 26-year-old forward has netted over 20 goals this season despite injury setbacks and is reportedly open to a new challenge after leading Napoli to a historic Scudetto last year.
🔥 Why Chelsea?
- Their top strikers haven’t delivered consistently.
- Osimhen brings pace, power, and proven goal-scoring.
- Chelsea wants to rebuild for a stronger 2025/26 season under new management.
👀 What’s Next?
- Talks are “advanced,” but Napoli will not sell cheap.
- PSG and Manchester United are also reportedly interested.
- Osimhen’s camp says he wants Champions League football—Chelsea may need to qualify to seal the deal.
Fans are already imagining the Blue jersey on the Super Eagles star, but nothing is official yet.
