Osimhen still wanted by Chelsea, not ruled out by BBC

Posted : 13 May 2025

BBC Sport reporter Nizaar Kinsella has revealed that Chelsea is still interested in signing Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as the summer transfer window draws near.


Currently on loan at Turkish champions Galatasaray from Napoli, Osimhen has been in exceptional form this season. He has scored 33 goals and provided eight assists in 38 appearances across all competitions, playing a key role in Galatasaray’s pursuit of a domestic double.


His incredible performances have sparked renewed interest from top European clubs such as Juventus and Chelsea, with rumors continuing to swirl around the 26-year-old striker. Chelsea, in particular, remains a strong contender for his signature.


Kinsella shared that Chelsea is being cautious in their pursuit of a striker due to heavy competition from other top clubs for several high-profile forwards. He mentioned that Manchester United is also in the race for players like Delap, while Arsenal is seeking a top-tier striker.


Despite the competition, Kinsella confirmed that Osimhen is still on Chelsea's radar. However, negotiations last summer were complicated due to the striker's high wage demands, which Chelsea found prohibitive.


Chelsea and Napoli had agreed on a transfer deal for Osimhen last year, but personal terms could not be finalized, leading to the striker’s loan move to Turkey instead.


As the summer transfer window approaches, Osimhen will aim to maintain his impressive form with Galatasaray and help the club secure the Turkish league title and the Turkish Cup, further boosting his value ahead of a potential life-changing move.
