Chelsea has reportedly set its sights on Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as their "primary target" to address their goal-scoring issues, though the 24-year-old's potential cost may exceed £100 million. Manager Mauricio Pochettino is keen to strengthen the squad, and Osimhen's three successful seasons in Serie A make him a top choice. However, the high asking price could pose a challenge for a January deal. Osimhen's goal-scoring prowess, with six goals in 11 appearances, has garnered attention from Chelsea, aiming to secure a long-term solution.
Despite Chelsea's interest, Arsenal is rumored to be a strong contender for Osimhen's signature, placing him "at the top of their transfer wish list." While Arsenal has been linked with Brentford's Ivan Toney, uncertainties around a potential deal have led them to consider Osimhen. The Gunners' managerial duo of Mikel Arteta and Edu reportedly sees Osimhen as the main target, with the Napoli striker valued at around £125 million. The club is thought to have prioritized a significant move in the summer transfer window.
In a surprising turn of events, former Chelsea forward Timo Werner could make a return to the Premier League, with Fulham linked to the German international. Werner, who spent two seasons with Chelsea, is reportedly available for loan from his current club. Fulham, in search of a striker after selling Aleksandar Mitrovic, has shown interest in Werner, though his high wages may pose a challenge for the club. Other potential suitors, including West Ham and Real Madrid, have also been linked to the German forward, adding intrigue to his potential Premier League comeback.
