Chelsea remain locked in talks to sign Napoli's Victor Osimhen as manager Enzo Maresca outlines attacking plans for the season.
Chelsea are still intensifying efforts to sign an established centre-forward with just two days left of the transfer window.
The Blues are reportedly locked in talks with Napoli to find a resolution for Victor Osimhen, but manager Enzo Maresca has revealed he is equally ready to continue with Nicolas Jackson in attack.
Jackson has failed to meet expectations since arriving from Villarreal last summer and may find his playing time limited with Ivan Toney and Osimhen heavily linked,

Speaking ahead of the second-leg clash with Servette in the UEFA Europa Conference League play-off on Thursday, the former Leicester City boss said that he is satisfied with Jackson.
The Italian was asked for his comments on club’s links with the Nigeria international and Toney, he said, according to Football.London,
“I didn’t speak to Nicolas about this. I had a meeting with Nicolas yesterday but just about the amount of good things he is doing with us.
“I don’t think Nicolas needs a chat. He is our nine, our striker in this moment. We are very happy with him.”
The Blues have added 10 new faces this summer but have failed to sign an out-and-out striker, which they hope to resolve by landing Osimhen.
Christopher Nkunku is another player who can fill that position as he did successfully at Leipzig.
