Chelsea are prepared to go all out to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

According to Calciomercato.it, Chelsea are ready to do “crazy things” to land Victor Osimhen.

However, the Italian outlet claims that Manchester United and Real Madrid are also willing to do the same, so the Blues will face fierce competition for the 24-year-old’s signature.

Chelsea signed Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal in the summer and also have Armando Broja in their squad.

But it appears that the club are on the lookout for another centre-forward.

It is not a surprise to hear that Chelsea and other clubs are prepared to go the extra mile to land Osimhen.

The Nigerian is one of the best strikers in the world, scoring 26 goals in 32 league appearances last season.

Osimhen, who has been described as “phenomenal” by Italian manager Walter Mazzarri, has also netted six times in eight Serie A outings this term.

Ultimately, if the likes of Chelsea and United want to challenge for the Premier League title again, then the Nigeria international is the calibre of forward that they may need to bring in.

The latter, however, have just invested a lot of money in Rasmus Hojlund, so it will be interesting to see if they actually do end up going for Osimhen next year.

As for Chelsea, while they did bring Jackson in over the summer, he only cost the club £32m so could easily become a squad player and deputy to another No.9 like Osimhen.
