After appointing Enzo Maresca, Chelsea’s board of directors is keen to support the Italian strategist with quality signings. Chelsea will try to regain its position as a giant after two years of instability under the Todd Boehly era.

HITC believes the Blues are showing no signs of slowing down their transfer business, having completed the signings of Barcelona youngster Marc Guiu and Aston Villa forward Omari Kellyman.

Osimhen is Chelsea’s dream signing.

 

Chelsea is eyeing a blockbuster move for Victor Osimhen. The Nigeria international is expected to leave Napoli this summer after a lacklustre season for the Serie A outfit, finishing 10th in Serie A despite being Italian champions 12 months earlier.

Earlier this year, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis confirmed that Osimhen was definitely leaving. The problem was that the partners needed to pay a price “appropriate” to Laurentiis’ ambitions.

According to HITC, Chelsea do not want to pay Osimhen’s £110 million release clause that Napoli have inserted into his contract. Due to concerns over financial fair play, they are very cautious about spending money.

At 25, Osimhen is entering the prime of his career. His contract with Napoli runs until 2026, so now is the perfect time for the Naples team to sell him to maximize their profits.

With Inter Milan’s current momentum, it will be difficult for Laurentiis’ Napoli to create another miracle in Serie A. Therefore, they will need to reinvest in the future after the current stars have’reached their limit’.

As for Chelsea, they will need to ‘raise money’ to be able to recruit Osimhen. Kepa Arrizabalaga will return to Chelsea after his loan at Real Madrid ends. Several teams in the Saudi Pro League have asked to buy this goalkeeper, and he could follow in the footsteps of Edouard Mendy or Kalidou Koulibaly to play football in the Middle East.

Meanwhile, Osimhen is a centre-forward who could improve Chelsea’s goal-scoring game immediately. In 108 appearances for Napoli, he has scored 65 goals and provided 16 assists, domestically alone.

Jackson needs someone to share the fire on the offensive line.

 

He is a dynamic striker who can operate independently. Maresca will need such a striker to share the scoring burden with Nicolas Jackson.

To optimize these two players, perhaps Maresca will arrange an attack with 3 strikers. Accordingly, Osimhen will play the highest, supported on the left wing by Jackson, and on the opposite wing, Cole Palmer can be trusted.

In fact, last season, there was a time when Chelsea played Jackson on the wing to take advantage of his speed. If they had a killer inside the box, this would be a very promising framework for Chelsea next season.
