Chelsea now want to beat Arsenal to land the £150m player next year
Chelsea are now favorites to beat Arsenal in a battle with Napoli’s Victor Osimheni. This is according to the FootballTransfers report. They claim Chelsea are frontrunners to sign 24-year-old Victor Osimhen next summer.
The Blues understandably consider the Napoli forward to be their number one in next summer’s transfer window. The report explains that Premier League side Arsenal are interested in signing the Serie A star, but are lagging behind their nearest rivals in the transfer race despite being in contact with Napoli.
Apparently Chelsea can already sign Osimheni and find themselves in pole position. The Daily Mail wrote in June that Osimheni is being considered by Napoli as a £150m striker.

The Italian champions were able to keep the striker, who started the new season with three goals in three Serie A games already. He has emerged as one of the world’s most exciting strikers in recent years, scoring 62 goals in 104 appearances for Napoli on the rise in Italy. We believe that every Chelsea supporter will fall in love with this type of tent. It’s no surprise to hear that the Nigerian striker could command an astronomical fee to sign, but he looks tailor-made to score plenty of goals in the Premier League. There have been some costly and big mistakes made during the current ownership at Stamford Bridge. However, in our opinion, Osimhen is one of the few situations where it might be worth digging deep into your pocket for cash.
