Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca will be happy with his forward options at the moment.
Chelsea are the second-highest scorers in the Premier League this season, with both Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku firing.
Jackson has netted four times, while Nkunku has seven goals in all competitions for the Blues. Nkunku is pushing to start against Liverpool following his goal for France on Thursday, his first for his country.
Despite the form that the two forwards have been in, though, Chelsea continue to be linked with Victor Osimhen.
Chelsea and Real Madrid both like Victor Osimhen
Chelsea could not capture Osimhen in the last transfer window, but their interest in the striker still remains.
According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid have had Osimhen on their radar for years but are at risk of losing out on him to Chelsea.
The outlet claims that the Blues want to sign the 25-year-old in the summer of 2025 and are already discussing a €75m (£62.8m) deal.
Osimhen is currently at Turkish club Galatasaray on loan, joining them from Napoli after his failed move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea more likely to sign Victor Osimhen than Real Madrid
If it were a choice between Chelsea and Real Madrid, no one would be shocked if the Nigerian chose the latter.
However, with Carlo Ancelotti already needing to fit Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior all into the same team, the European champions moving for Osimhen seems unlikely.
Therefore, there is probably more of a chance of Osimhen joining Chelsea than Real Madrid.
Enzo Maresca would probably welcome a forward of the Nigeria international’s calibre. Again, though, with the Italian getting a tune out of both Jackson and Nkunku right now, he may not be desperate for him.
A lot can happen between now and next summer, but the centre-forward position has not been an issue for Chelsea so far this season. If that remains the case as the campaign goes on, then the club could end up saving millions.
