Chelsea keen to sign striker Victor Osimhen ahead of Manchester United.
Dream run
The 24-year-old is enjoying a sensational season in Naples, scoring 26 goals in 31 appearances,
To help Luciano Spalletti’s go 14 points clear at the top of Serie A.
Chelsea believe Osimhen could solve their goalscoring issues, having relied on Kai Havertz for much of the season following Romelu Lukaku’s return to Italy last summer.
The Blues signed former Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on deadline-day
but his spell in west London has been disastrous and all parties are ready to cut ties at the end of the season.
But Chelsea face fierce competition from Manchester United in the race to sign Osimhen,
Manchester United

Manchester United are ready to make a fresh approach to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer,
The Red Devils are expected to bolster their squad with a new centre-forward and they already been linked with a number of big names.
United are in the market for a new striker having released Cristiano Ronaldo earlier in the season
And using Burnley loanee Wout Weghorst up top in the second-half of the campaign.
Chelsea have an upper hand over Manchester United, however, as Napoli is interested in signing Hakim Ziyech
And there is a feeling that he could be used in a deal involving Osimhen,
According to the Daily Mirror.The Blues want to offload around 10 players this summer and have already indicated that Morocco winger Ziyech will be put up for sale.
The 30-year-old enjoyed four impressive seasons at Ajax before a £33m move to Stamford Bridge in 2020 but has flopped in the Premier League.
Former Chelsea manager Graham Potter was willing to send Ziyech out on loan in January ,
but a deadline-day move to Paris Saint-Germain fell through due to paperwork issues.
