Chelsea willing to offer Napoli £77m and two players for Victor Osimhen as Blues aim for blockbuster summer transfer

The Blues are desperate to land the Nigerian hotshot and according to Gianluca Di Marzio, they could offer a package of £77 million (€90m/$96m) and two players, one of them a youngster. The other is rumoured to be Romelu Lukaku, who is currently on loan at Serie A side Roma.

Chelsea's desire to bring in Osimhen is understandable given he has bagged 14 goals in 22 league matches this season for a struggling Napoli side, three more than Lukaku in seven fewer games. The ex-Lille striker is also only 25 years of age and as such, the Blues face stiff competition to acquire his signature this summer - most notably from Paris Saint-Germain.

In 2022/23, Osimhen enjoyed the most prolific campaign by an African player in Serie A history, bagging 26 goals as Napoli claimed their first Scudetto since the halcyon days of Diego Maradona in 1989/90. Osimhen also boasts an impressive international record, netting 21 times in 35 appearances for Nigeria.

With links to Osimhen intensifying, Nicolas Jackson will look to end the season with a flourish to boost his chances of remaining a starter under Mauricio Pochettino. The Senegalese front man took his Premier League goal tally to 11 with his strike against Tottenham on Thursday evening.
