Chelsea to sign a striker BETTER than Osimhen? As £400,000-per-week player ‘wants to come home’
Chelsea have been dreaming of signing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen for months, but Mauricio Pochettino’s side have been told they can do better than the Nigeria international.
The Stamford Bridge outfit may be languishing in a mid-table position in the Premier League, but that has not stopped them being linked with world-class talent.
Osimhen had been foremost among these players, yet some doubt has been cast on Chelsea’s ability to land the 25-year-old as PSG are ready to step up their interest in the ex-Lille hitman.
The Blues have been told that instead of chasing the Nigerian, they should seriously consider Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane as an alternative.
Stan Collymore claims in his Caught Offside column it’s a deal that could be struck.
“I think secretly he wants to come home, and if you were Manchester United, potentially with a new manager and under new ownership, the signing of Kane would represent cache and intent,” he says.
“Chelsea also could use not only his goals but his experience to help the young pups along. I thought earlier on this season that he should stay and fight Bayer next season to get the title back but I’m particularly warming to Kane to Chelsea.
“They have the cash, it’s his city and they desperately need some calm heads around the place, people you can rely on.
“They don’t come calmer than Kane and the fact he knows Poch so well may be the focus that the manager and owner need to get the Blues back firing towards that top four.”
