Chelsea are racing against time to complete the signing of Victor Osimhen and his arrival could be a game-changer.
Victor Osimhen's transfer saga has dominated the headlines for what seems like an eternity, leaving fans glued to their phones, waiting for Fabrizio Romano's 'Here we go'.
With only a few hours left in the transfer window, the Napoli man is finally edging closer to a move, and Chelsea are fighting hard to pull it off.
Transfer deadline day: Osimhen to Chelsea and 5 other major transfers that can still happen
Osimhen and Chelsea; the perfect match
Perhaps certain people have forgotten just how good Osimhen is. At just 25, the Nigerian striker and reigning CAF Player of the Year has achieved incredible success.
He led Napoli to their first Scudetto in 33 years in 2023, winning the Golden Boot with 26 Serie A goals and 31 across all competitions. His numbers were staggering, and he remains one of the most lethal finishers on the planet.
Even in a tough season last year, marred by injuries, managerial changes, and off-field issues, Osimhen still managed to score 17 goals and finish as Napoli's top scorer.
He's a player who only needs one chance to score, and his arrival at Chelsea would instantly make them title contenders.
The Blues were resigned to watching the profligate Nicolas Jackson last season, but Osimhen would take things to a whole new level.
After a mixed transfer window for Enzo Maresca, this could be signing that changes everything, and takes their summer from mediocre to 10/10.
After all, who doesn't want a masked number 9?
