The English Premier League’s top team, Chelsea, has officially started the process of signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano.
The Super Eagles forward’s agent has been contacted by the Blues on the potential of heading to west London, according to the transfer expert.
According to reports, Chelsea is among the top European teams hoping to recruit the international player from Nigeria this summer.
But PSG, a team in French Ligue 1, will provide Mauricio Pochettino’s team with fierce competition.
According to reports, Osimhen, 25, would prefer to move to the Premier League than to return to Ligue 1.
Romano also discloses that Chelsea has spoken with Osimhen’s representative.
According to him, Mics’ YouTube page was told that “they have a shortlist of players, maybe four or five names for each position but you still don’t know who is the top target but at the end of the day, you are already speaking to agents to discuss opportunities.”
For instance, Chelsea spoke with several agencies for the striker position, including Sesko, Osimhen, and other players’ representatives.
