Chelsea considering signing these two as Osimhen’s replacements

Chelsea are already planning to make some new signings for their manager Enzo Maresca ahead of the January transfer window.

The recent reports disclosed that the Blues are no longer confident about signing Victor Osimhen, who is currently on loan with Galatasaray.

According to the reports, the Nigerian star is likely to remain in the Turkey club for the rest of the season and there are also reports them making attempts to sign him permanently.

With this, the Blues’ chances of signing the Napoli striker is low and are said to be searching for alternatives, says journalist Simon Phillips.

The Blues now have their eyes on other replacements across Europe.

The centre-forwards the Blues are considering include Brighton & Hove Albion’s Evan Ferguson and Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap.

While Nicolas Jackson has improved at Stamford Bridge under Maresca this season, there are concerns about Christopher Nkunku’s future at the club, and signing a new No. 9 is on the Blues agenda.

We will have to wait to see who the Blues will submit a bid for between Delap and Ferguson.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will return to action this weekend when they play against Leicester City in the Premier League.
