Chelsea are determined to sign Napoli superstar Victor Osimhen before the transfer window closes but they face stiff competition from Arsenal, per reports.
The Nigerian international has been the Blues top centre-forward target for several months and they’ve been locked in talks with Napoli over a transfer.
Chelsea and Napoli have also been discussing Romelu Lukaku, who Antonio Conte has made his top target to replace Osimhen.
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that a deal for Lukaku is ‘expected to happen,’ with negotiations between clubs set to continue on Thursday.
All parties are keen for Lukaku’s move to Napoli to go through, but as previously reported, the talks for the Belgian are separate to those for Osimhen.
Arsenal could bamboozle Chelsea after ‘reigniting’ their interest in Osimhen as they look to bring in a new striker.
Napoli, meanwhile, are eager to cash in on the forward. They were initially holding out for his £110m release clause but have since reduced their demands.
