The latest transfer news, rumours and gossip from Stamford Bridge as Victor Osimhen nears his inevitable exit from Napoli.
Victor Osimhen transfer discount as ‘hot track’ appears
Victor Osimhen is a leading option for Chelsea when it comes to finding a striker, but it appears that the Nigeria international may be slipping away from the Stamford Bridge side as an increasingly “hot track” appears for the hitman.
Al-Hilal of the Saudi Pro League are coming into focus increasingly for the Napoli striker, with the Italian side now willing to offer a discount on the hitman provided a deal is struck by June.
Osimhen’s price will be slashed to €65 million from €75m, according to Serie A News.
A move to the Premier League remains the player’s dream, despite Al-Hilal’s desire to sign him.

Alternative striker targeted
With a deal for Osimhen hanging in the balance, Strasbourg striker Emanuel Emegha is increasingly seen as a viable summer target.
The French side is, of course, in the BlueCo family of clubs, making a hypothetical deal easy to secure.
Perhaps most intriguingly, this transfer would not impact on Chelsea’s ability to sign Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap.

Chelsea complete long-awaited deal
Chelsea have finally completed a deal to have a front of shirt sponsor, with Damac taking on the honour until the end of the season.
It is an agreement that could potentially have major ramifications for the Blues’ summer spending after being in the embarrassing position of having no major partner.
Infinite Athlete, Chelsea’s previous shirt sponsor, had an agreement worth around €50m per year and the Blues will hope to attract a similar level of investment for next season.
Man Utd change Garnacho stance
Manchester United have taken the shock decision to slash Alejandro Garnacho’s asking price, it is claimed.
After turning down a bid of €60m from Chelsea in January, the Argentine now has a price tag of €50m on his head.
