Summer remains a period of uncertainty for Chelsea. Todd Boehly will decide on Mauricio Pochettino's future, while concerns over potential spending breaches could affect transfer plans.
It's clear that the squad requires reinforcements in multiple areas, and there are suggestions that an additional attacker might be needed. Although Nicolas Jackson has netted 13 goals in his debut season, there's speculation he could have surpassed 20 if he'd been more clinical.
Christopher Nkunku has struggled to find his footing due to recurring injuries, while Armando Broja, currently on loan to Fulham, could be sold in the next transfer window to generate profit, much like midfielder Conor Gallagher.
Chelsea will need to make strategic cuts to address their transfer needs across the board, including in the attack. As a result, Victor Osimhen's rumored £111 million price tag could be too steep for the Blues.
That doesn't mean there wouldn't be flexibility if the striker makes it clear that he wants to join Chelsea. According to Gazetta, this could be the case, as the Italian outlet reports that Napoli's star player, Victor Osimhen, prefers Chelsea if he were to move to England.
Osimhen has openly expressed his admiration for the Premier League and had mentioned his intention to move during the summer, indicating his ambitions. However, in January, he suggested that a move to England might be something for the future, indicating a shift in his immediate plans.
