West London club, Chelsea, are keen to add Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen to the long list of new recruits brought in during the January transfer window.
The Blues after breaking the English transfer record with the signing of former Benfica midfielder and World Cup winner, Enzo Fernandez, are interested in bringing the in-form striker to Stamford Bridge.
According to Simon Phillips via GiveMeSport, Chelsea, who are currently 9th on the Premier League table, are hoping to pry Osimhen, from his current club, Napoli.

The highly successful Premier League team have been scouting for the 24-year-old for a while and want him to join Graham Potter’s team this year’s summer.
“Victor Osimhen is definitely one on the radar and last season, when the new owners came in, one of the first scouting missions they set up was to watch Napoli regularly,” Phillips said.
“Then there were a few other players that they were watching as well. But he is definitely one they have been scouting regularly this season and last season.
“He is definitely on Chelsea’s shortlist of strikers and he is probably quite high up there.”
The former Lille attacker has been in brilliant form for Napoli so far this season.
Osimhen is currently the leading scorer in Serie A with 17 goals from 18 appearances for the table-topping Serie A side.
