Chelsea have reportedly received a major boost in the transfer race to snap up Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window.
Since the start of this summer, Osimhen has been in the headlines due to his alleged wish of leaving Napoli. The 25-year-old striker has been heavily linked with Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Arsenal.
However, according to French outlet L'Equipe, PSG have dropped out of the race to sign the Nigerian despite Goncalo Ramos' ankle injury.
Moreover, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta asserted that his club will not sign a striker earlier this weekend. He told talkSPORT.
As a result, Chelsea currently have a clear path ahead of them to land Osimhen's signature. However, they would only be able to rope in the forward after selling the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Raheem Sterling.
Earlier on Sunday (August 18), Chelsea slumped to a 2-0 loss in their 2024-25 Premier League opener against champions Manchester City. Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic bagged the goals for the visitors.
Speaking on beIN SPORTS, ex-Blues star John Obi Mikel shared his two cents on his former club's recent performance. He said.
