Chelsea to make ANOTHER signing? Enzo Maresca admits Blues could still target new striker amid Victor Osimhen transfer links

Chelsea have signed 11 first-team players this summer and currently they have Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu as their central attacking options. But, head coach Maresca wants to add another forward before the transfer window shuts on August 30.

The Italian told reporters: "If we have the chance to bring in a nine that can help us and make the difference, then we are going to try. Otherwise, we are okay. We do not need to sign players just to sign players. If we sign players and they help us to improve, then for sure we need players. Otherwise, we are happy with the way we are.”

Much has been made of Chelsea's bloated squad, which encompasses more than 40 players. But for all their signings and the billions spent on transfers, the Blues still, arguably, need a striker and Osimhen is still available. Chelsea have been trying to sign him on loan but Napoli want a permanent exit for the 25-year-old. Whether they can sign the Nigerian remains to be seen.

Amid the links to Osimhen, who has a £111 million ($145m) release clause but Napoli are reportedly willing to let him leave for less than that, Chelsea are next in action away to Wolves on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League.
