Chelsea transfer news: The Blues have been given a fresh price-tag for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
The price Chelsea paid for Enzo Fernandez in January might come back to bite them as they look to do more serious transfer work over the summer. Todd Boehly made the 22-year-old the most expensive player in Premier League history, paying £106.8m for his signature.
“Something will happen with strikers in the summer. It will all depend on Kylian Mbappé. If there is a new transfer saga, it will cause a domino effect." The battle for top strikers may well dominate the summer window with Harry Kane also tipped to leave Tottenham too.
“With Dusan Vlahovic, there is a very realistic possibility of a move to the Premier League," said CBS reporter and transfer expert Ben Jacobs to NUFC Matters. "Chelsea and Manchester United are the two primary clubs who are looking at him, Newcastle have sent scouts as well in the past.
“Vlahovic isn’t happy at Juventus and with their point deduction there’s no guarantee he’ll have Champions League football next season. The thing Newcastle need to understand if they’re going to enter that race is if he has any chronic injury problems, the last thing Newcastle want is to sign a player of that quality and find that there’s a hovering injury issue in the background.”
With the battle for the top four all but over for the Blues they may well be relying on their ability to pitch an exciting prospect to both Vlahovic and Osimhen.
