Chelsea’s Transfer Target Update: Victor Osimhen vs. Ivan Toney as Potential New Striker Before Deadline
Chelsea are making significant moves in the final days of the transfer window, aiming to strengthen their attacking options with a high-profile signing.
The club is reportedly close to securing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
Osimhen, who had an outstanding season with Napoli, is said to be eager to join Chelsea, believing that he could thrive as the focal point of Enzo Maresca’s attacking lineup.
Chelsea’s recent 6-2 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers showcased their attacking prowess, with Nicolas Jackson leading the line and scoring. However, the potential addition of Osimhen would elevate Chelsea’s offensive capabilities even further, giving them a dynamic and prolific striker to spearhead their attack.
In the event that a deal for Osimhen does not materialize, Chelsea are also considering Brentford’s Ivan Toney as an alternative.
Toney, who has proven his goal-scoring ability in the Premier League, would bring experience and a strong physical presence to a relatively young Chelsea squad.
His 20 goals in 33 appearances during his best season highlight his potential to contribute significantly to Chelsea’s quest to return to the Champions League.
As the transfer deadline approaches, it is increasingly likely that Chelsea will secure a new center-forward, whether it be Osimhen or Toney, to bolster their squad for the season ahead.
