Victor Osimhen has also started the ongoing 2023/2024 season on a good note, scoring six goals and providing two assists in the 11 appearances he has made in all competitions.
His excellent performances in front of goal is believed to have caught the attention of Chelsea over the past few months and according to reports from Transfer News Live, Victor Osimhen still remains Chelsea’s top transfer target.
The reports further claimed that Chelsea football club have kept Victor Osimhen as their top target and will make a move to lure the striker away from Napoli when the transfer window opens in January.
It is believed that Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino wants an out-an-out striker next year and he has identified Victor Osimhen as a needed addition to his squad in January.
But then, it remains to be seen if Chelsea football club will be able to reach an agreement with Napoli and secure the transfer of top January transfer target Victor Osimhen when the window opens.
