Chelsea’s struggles in front of goal this season have prompted former player Pat Nevin to suggest Napoli’s Victor Osimhen as the perfect solution.
Nevin believes the Blues should target the Nigerian striker to bolster their attacking options.
While acknowledging the financial challenges, Nevin suggests that selling Mykhailo Mudryk could provide the funds for the potential deal.
Chelsea currently sits 10th in the Premier League, and Nevin attributes their offensive woes to the absence of injured forward Christopher Nkunku.
With concerns about the goal-scoring form of players like Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja, Nevin emphasizes the need for a high-calibre striker, considering Osimhen’s impressive performance in Serie A last season.
Nevin acknowledges the historical trend of Chelsea spending large sums on strikers and suggests that Osimhen, with an anticipated transfer fee exceeding £100 million, could be a strategic investment.
However, he emphasizes that Chelsea might need to offload a player, pointing to Mudryk as a potential candidate to finance the move.
