Pochettino ‘would absolutely love’ for Chelsea to sign one of the best!
.CHELSEA ‘would absolutely love’ to lure Napoli star Victor Osimhen to Stamford Bridge, CBS reporter Ben Jacobs has claimed.
It is no secret that Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino will be looking to improve that attack this summer transfer window – as the Blues really struggled for goals last season.
Christopher Nkunku has already make the move to Stamford Bridge – but it is no secret that Pochettino wants to add another striker and Osimhen is a man that has been linked with a move to the club.
Osimhen played a crucial role in Napoli being crowned last season’s Serie A champions and was the Leagues top scorer.
But his fine form was not limited to domestic action as he also found the back of the net five times in the Champions League, taking his tally for the campaign to 31.
And if you believe the words of Jacobs – Pochettino would love to have Osimhen at the club – he told GIVEMESPORT: “Obviously, Chelsea would absolutely love a player like Victor Osimhen, but Napoli still haven’t really given anybody hope that they will sell.
“That’s down to the player to drive a move to the Premier League, but he might well be out of Chelsea’s budget.
“Let’s not forget the price that Napoli paid Lille for Osimhen. If you include the add-ons, guaranteed fee and the valuation of the player swaps, it’s a total package of €80million.
‘This is why Napoli are asking for nearly double that amount, and that’s far above what Chelsea can or would want to pay.”
