Chelsea is still eager to add a new striker in the next transfer windows, as Caughtoffside revealed. The Blues’ fervent desire to sign Victor Osimhen this summer is still being discussed by the club and his agency.
Chelsea was hesitant to rely just on Nicolas Jackson, therefore they sought to add another striker during the summer transfer window. Although the Senegalese striker wasted far too many opportunities, he had an excellent first season in the Premier League.
As a result, the Blues believed that the talent still required more time to mature before reaching his full potential. The team was hoping to recruit highly-regarded Victor Osimhen in order to reinforce the vital position. However, due to issues in the discussions, the purchase fell through.
Chelsea was willing to make a sizable offer, but they refused to budge from Napoli’s exorbitant expectations. In addition, Osimhen demanded a large wage in order to play for Stamford Bridge. Ultimately, none of the parties were able to reach an agreement by the deadline.
Nicolas Jackson has the power to influence the club.
It’s interesting to note that Nicolas Jackson has scored four goals in his first six games of the season. This demonstrates the enhancement he has made to his reputation. Contrary to what many had predicted, Chelsea is now likely not to be inclined to pursue a striker.
According to the report, the Blues are considering alternative strikers on the market since they aren’t still sold on Jackson. In order to find out how to sign Victor Osimhen, the English giants stay in close contact with his agency.
Viktor Gyokeres of Sporting Lisbon, Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa, and Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig are among the other players on Chelsea’s roster. It is yet to be determined.
