It appears that everything is now on Chelsea and in their hands in terms of signing Victor Osimhen or not in the remaining few days of this summer’s transfer window.
If Chelsea do not sign Osimhen this window now, according to the latest reports, it will be because they cannot agree wages with the player. Even the fee with Napoli now looks like it shouldn’t even be an issue, and Chelsea are also seemingly the first priority for Osimhen as well now.
PSG appear to be out of the race entirely, but Al Ahli from Saudi ARE still in the race. But it is Chelsea who are now well ahead in this and have Osimhen in their hands right now. Will they get it done?
