Chelsea are reportedly prepared to spend big to land Napoli striker Victor Osimhen during the summer transfer window.
The Nigerian star has been in outstanding form for the Naples outfit this term, bagging 21 goals and four assists from just 25 games.
His form has caught the eye of top Premier League sides and Gazzetta dello Sport claim that the Blues are determined to land him.
Blues owner Todd Boehly is eager to find a solution for the Blues’ scoring woes and wants to bring Osimhen to the club at any cost.
It is added that he is prepared to pay a fee of around €130 million while doubling the striker’s current weekly wages at Napoli.
It remains to be seen whether Osimhen will accept their proposal. He may want to play Champions League football next term.
That seems unlikely to happen with the Blues, who are 10th in the Premier League. They are already 14 points behind the top four.
