Chelsea to compete against Man Utd in the race to sign Osimhen

Manchester United are believed to make Napoli forward Victor Osimhen one of their key transfer targets in the summer, but they won’t be the only club trying to rope in the Nigerian international.  

Osimhen has scored 25 goals in 29 appearances in all competitions this season with Napoli are on the verge of claiming the Serie A title, and into the Quarter Finals of the Champions League.

According to Football Insider Chelsea have now looked over to the former VfL Wolfsburg, Charleroi and Lille attacker as the possible solution to their goal scoring issues, and are preparing a bid in the region of £100m. 

However, the blues are unlikely to be in the Champions League next season- unless they win the ongoing season. They are currently tottering at tenth in the league standings, 11 points adrift of the top four, and face mighty Real Madrid in the last eight of the UCL. 

United are amongst the top contenders to sign the 24 year old, though the Red Devils have also been linked with moves for Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos and Tottenham Hotspur’s leading goal scorer Harry Kane.
