Victor Osimhen has been heavily linked with Chelsea.
The Nigerian forward has been the subject of interest for Chelsea over the past two transfer windows but the club never made an official bid for the 24-year-old.
The Napoli striker was influential in the club’s three-decade-long wait for the Serie A title last season and netted 26 goals in the process.
But this season, Napoli are eight points behind league leaders Inter Milan, so Osimhen may seek a new challenge elsewhere.
His contract with the Serie A club expires in 2025 and the board is keen to tie him to a new contract.
Journalist Dean Jones claims that the Nigerian forward would be open to joining Chelsea but it doesn’t appear Chelsea would go for him.
Dean Jones said: “I think he would be keen on going to Chelsea. I do think that there is something in the stories that he might choose Chelsea. I do believe that.”
“Will Chelsea go and sign him is the big question. A month ago, there were strong signs that Chelsea would go aggressive again in the market and try to sign a striker. But I think a lot will have to do with how Christopher Nkunku comes into this team now.”
