Super Eagles and Napoli ace Victor Osimhen

Chelsea recently received positive news from Italy regarding their efforts to sign Super Eagles attacker Victor Osimhen from Napoli this summer.

Popular football market specialist Fabrizio Romano has stated that the Italian club is now willing to let Osimhen leave as part of a deal for Romelu Lukaku.

The Nigerian forward has been wanted by Chelsea this summer, and PSG is thought to be interested in signing him as a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who now plays for Real Madrid.

While the Ligue 1 champions have yet to settle on a deal with Napoli, Chelsea are searching for a proven goal scorer to spearhead their attack this season.

The Serie A side may be willing to make an exception for the Blues if they include Lukaku in a player-plus-cash deal.

Antonio Conte, the new manager, wants Lukaku to spearhead the attack in the forthcoming season for Napoli.

Lukaku is also anxious to work with Conte at Napoli, so this is a move that might benefit all parties involved.

However, the London giants will need to persuade Osimhen, especially because they will not be competing in the Champions League next season.
