Chelsea Legend gives the Blues his blessings to land Serie A star in the summer

The Chelsea Legend has given the Blues the go-ahead to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

Chelsea Legend, Gianfranco Zola has given the Blues the perfect go-ahead including reasons why they should sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli.

After a disappointing turnout from Romelu Lukaku who was signed to solve the Blues' striking problems, Chelsea opted for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabon International has also been a mere shadow of himself, netting thrice in 17 games.

Chelsea Legend, Zola believes Victor Osimhen is the right man to solve all of Chelsea's problems upfront.

“Chelsea would have a lot of competition [for Osimhen’s signature]." Zola said as quoted by Football.London

“He’s a complete player. He’s a pest. I don’t know what is going to happen. We will see. I think the task in the Premier League would be different to the Italian league.”

Since the resumption of the season after the World Cup, Chelsea have scored just six goals in 10 games in all competitions. Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has outscored Graham Potter’s men by three goals in the league.

Now, those are not great readings for a club that aspires to challenge for the biggest trophies in the world. With the way the club has spent money in the last two transfer windows, they would expect to win silverware sooner rather than later.

Amidst all the creative players in the squad, Chelsea do lack a finisher in the box. Osimhen can do that and much more. The 24-year-old has scored 18 goals and assisted four in 22 appearances in all competitions for Napoli. He is currently leading the Italian side to a Scudetto win in style.

Not only is he a striker who is lethal in the opposition box, but Osimhen can also run the channels, hold the ball up, be physically strong against defenders and has the pace to burn and trouble the opposition teams at will. He would be a perfect signing for Chelsea. Let’s wait and see if we manage to get him in the summer.

Victor Osimhen is believed to cost £100M and if Chelsea should consider a move for him, they will face stiff competition from Manchester United and PSG.

CONFIRMED: Todd Boehly finally decides on FIVE players who will be leaving Stamford Bridge in the summer.

Todd Boehly has decided he will offload five Chelsea players. Since taking over as Co-owner of Chelsea, it has not clicked for Todd Boehly despite splashing the cash to sign some of the big names in world football. Consecutive run of losses and sloppy display from players are two core reasons the Blues will be considering a squad overhaul this summer, and five players will be offloaded. According to a report from the Spanish publication SPORT, it is claimed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hakim Ziyech, Mason Mount, Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are being lined up for sale which could raise a whopping £129 million. If the market values of the players in question are met, it would provide the incoming Chelsea manager with a hefty transfer chest to spend and bring in a couple of new faces to bolster the squad over the summer.

CFC | TEAM NEWS Available squad numbers for Christopher Nkunku, Diego Moreira and Nicolas Jackson revealed. Chelsea are still very busy in the transfer market. Lots of players are yet to be assigned squad numbers. Chelsea have got a lot of numbers to hand out. If there is any club where squad numbers could be a bit of a mystery at the moment, it's Chelsea. After the huge influx of purchases last summer and in January 2023, the opposite has happened in the summer of 2023. Loads of senior players have been sold by Chelsea as they look to trim the wage bill and general squad size, partly for Financial Fair Play but also for sporting reasons. There were simply too many of them last season and they are still selling actively. It has not all been sales, as some players have come through the door at Chelsea, so there could be loads of different squad numbers compared to last season. As it stands, here are Chelsea's squad numbers for the 2023/24 campaign. Chelsea squad numbers...
