Chelsea is now looking to sign a “phenomenal” forward who could cost £175 million.

Victor Osimhen, a striker for Napoli, was a target for Chelsea during the summer transfer window.

Chelsea reportedly inquired about Victor Osimhen, but Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis valued him at £175 million at the time, according to the Daily Mirror.

If reports are to be believed, the Blues’ interest still exists despite the Serie A club’s obvious desire to hold onto their star player.

Osimhen has been elevated to No. 1 for Chelsea, according to a report from FootballTransfers last month.
In the race to sign him, they are the No. 1 target for the upcoming summer transfer window.

He had a fantastic season for Napoli last year, scoring 26 goals in 32 games.

Chelsea’s inquiries

It comes as no surprise to learn that Chelsea questioned Osimhen during the summer.

Osimhen was among the best in the world during the previous campaign, and they needed a new striker after their experiment with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failed.

However, Nicolas Jackson had to do, and the 22-year-old has struggled under Mauricio Pochettino.

Just his second of the year, it came against Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday in the Carabao Cup.

In the end, we believe that Chelsea needed to sign a center-forward with more success and experience, like Osimhen, who has been dubbed “phenomenal” by Italian manager Walter Mazzarri.
But in the end, De Laurentiis demanded too much money from the Nigerian.

There appears to be some tension between the player and the club right now after Napoli released a TikTok video mocking Osimhen, so perhaps Chelsea or another team will try to capitalize on that in the upcoming season.

Dream Chelsea lineup will face Fulham as Mauricio Pochettino decides on Cole Palmer and Ian Maatsen

Before Chelsea’s match against Fulham, Mauricio Pochettino will need to make some important decisions. Cole Palmer could mak his full Premier League debut for the Blues.

When Chelsea travels to rival Fulham in the Premier League on Monday, Mauricio Pochettino must make some significant decisions.

The Argentine head coach is now tasked with trying to create some momentum within this struggling Blues team after coming off of a much-needed win against Brighton earlier in the week.

As he addressed the media at Cobham on Friday afternoon, Pochettino was in a very good mood, which is the feeling that comes with a rare victory. With his Chelsea team playing at Craven Cottage on Monday against Fulham, he will be hoping to have a similar attitude on Tuesday morning.

Prior to that, Pochettino must make some crucial choices regarding his team’s composition. Ben Chilwell will now be sidelined for a while, but Carney Chukwuemeka is almost ready to come back.

Chilwell was substituted in the dying moments of Chelsea’s Carabao Cup victory over Brighton, and it already appears to be bad news for the vice-captain of the Blues. However, the club is particularly well-stocked at left-back.

Chilwell should be replaced by Ian Maatsen after his impressive performance on Wednesday. The Dutchman performed well enough to start the match against Fulham, despite playing in a position that was more advanced than his natural left-back position.

Due to the absence of Malo Gusto and Reece James, Axel Disasi appears set to start at right-back, while Levi Colwill may move to the center to partner Thiago Silva. Naturally, Robert Sanchez stays in goal.

Since Moises Caicedo’s signing in the summer, Chelsea supporters have been pining for a double pivot of Caicedo and Fernandez. Enzo has been playing in a more advanced role, but his performance recently hasn’t been up to his usual high standards, so perhaps a position change is in the works?

Cole Palmer could make his full Premier League debut for the Blues as a result, and it would also enable the addition of another attacker.
Palmer was outstanding in Chelsea’s victory over Brighton, and Pochettino went into great detail about how much he has been impressed with the England Under-21s international since he joined Stamford Bridge.

Although they might both join the team again, Noni Madueke and Chukwuemeka are not likely to be used right away.

Instead, in an effort to inspire confidence in the Ukraine international, he could start Raheem Sterling on the right and keep Mykhailo Mudryk in the middle.

On Monday night, Nicolas Jackson will complete his one-match suspension. Chelsea does not have many options, but Armando Broja will make his first start of the year in the starting XI if they wanted to play with a natural center-forward.

The ideal Chelsea starting eleven would include; Sanchez, Disasi, Silva, Colwill, Maatsen, Caicedo, Enzo, Sterling, Palmer, Mudryk, and Broja.
