“Chelsea’s Manager Mauricio Pochettino aims to sign Napoli’s Victor Osimhen for the upcoming season”

To strengthen the attack of the Blues next season, Pochettino has every intention of attracting Victor Osimhen.

Free of any contract since leaving Paris Saint-Germain, Mauricio Pochettino will travel to London this week to sign a three-year contract with Chelsea. The Argentine manager will benefit from a substantial budget to strengthen his team, which will see many changes after a disastrous season. The Blues, who have already completed the arrivals of Christopher Nkunku (RB Leipzig) and Malo Gusto (Olympique Lyonnais), will not hesitate to take out the checkbook to try to find Europe.

Chelsea are notably looking for a goalkeeper, several midfielders and a powerful striker. Since the sale of Diego Costa in 2017, the club no longer have a top number 9. According The Guardian, Pochettino has set his sights on Victor Osimhen (24) to fill this gap. The Nigerian striker played a key role in Napoli’s Serie A title win this season, scoring 23 goals in 29 league appearances. In lack of playing time, Christian Pulisic (24) could be included in the deal to lower the amount of the operation, estimated at more than 100 million euros.
