• Chelsea desperate to sign marquee signing this summer
  • The Blues have longstanding interest in Osimhen, whose Napoli contract contains £100m release clause
  • Romelu Lukaku expected to be made available for transfer after Roma loan expires

  • Chelsea have made contact with Napoli over a potential swap deal involving strikers Victor Osimhen and Romelu Lukaku, a report has claimed.

    Finding a new striker has long been a top priority for Chelsea in the summer transfer window, with Osimhen seen as a leading candidate for the majority of the season. The Nigerian signed a new contract with Napoli earlier this year which contains a release clause worth over £100m with a view to facilitating an exit in the coming months.
