Victor Osimhen remains keen on a move away from Napoli and Enzo Maresca's latest comments could shed some light on the situation.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that the club is aware of his transfer targets for the final weeks of the window amid strong links to Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
The Blues have already seen a move for Atletico Madrid's Samu Omorodion collapse, and are now reportedly pursuing Joao Felix from the same club.

Will Osimhen finally join Chelsea?
When asked about these potential transfers, Maresca remained tight-lipped, saying: "The only thing I can say is they are not our players, so it's not correct to talk about a Napoli player or Atletico Madrid player."

It is normal for the Chelsea boss to shy away from mentioning specific names in public but there is clear interest to get a deal done.
Osimhen is keen on a move and Napoli are willing to settle for a lower fee in order to get Romelu Lukaku.
Maresca's words indicate there is interest as he failed to deny, but perhaps Chelsea are open to other options.
Should the Blue complete a deal for Joao Felix, they are unlikely to press on with any transfer for the Nigerian striker.
