Chelsea Miss Out on Victor Osimhen Deal but Eye January Move Amidst Confidence in Nicolas Jackson
Chelsea’s recent transfer activity has once again been dominated by a high-profile saga, this time centered around their pursuit of Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
The club was keen on securing Osimhen from Napoli, having not yet made a major investment in a striker since the new ownership took over.
Despite intense negotiations that extended into the final hours of the transfer window, Chelsea was unable to finalize a deal.
Osimhen has since moved to Galatasaray on loan after being excluded from Napoli’s Serie A squad, but his future remains uncertain. Reports suggest that Chelsea could still make a move for him in January, as the striker has a break clause that could facilitate a transfer from Galatasaray during the winter window.
Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has indicated that Chelsea may indeed activate this option when the window reopens, highlighting their ongoing interest in the player.
In the meantime, Chelsea is placing significant trust in Nicolas Jackson, who has made an impressive start to his Premier League career.
The club recently rewarded Jackson with a new contract, which includes a wage increase, reflecting their belief in his potential and value.
Chelsea appears confident that Jackson can continue to deliver in front of goal over the coming months.
The club’s other natural striker option is Marc Guiu, a promising young talent who has shown potential but remains raw and inexperienced, as expected at his age.
For now, Chelsea seems prepared to rely on Jackson while keeping an eye on potential reinforcements in the next transfer window.
