Chelsea Set to Prioritise Striker Signing as £58m Target Open to Summer Move

Chelsea are preparing for a major summer transfer window, and striker reinforcements appear to be high on the club’s agenda.

With Nicolas Jackson sidelined for an extended period, new manager Enzo Maresca is expected to push for attacking reinforcements, and a clear message has reportedly emerged regarding Victor Osimhen’s stance on a potential move to Stamford Bridge.

The Napoli forward has been linked with several top Premier League clubs, but sources close to the player suggest he is privately open to joining Chelsea, should a deal be agreed.

Valued at around £58 million, Osimhen’s power, pace, and proven goal-scoring record make him a standout option to lead the line for the Blues. Both Arsenal and Manchester United are also monitoring the situation closely, setting up a possible transfer battle ahead of the 2025/26 season.

In addition to Osimhen, Chelsea are reportedly keeping tabs on Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyökeres and Manchester City youngster Liam Delap, as part of a broader search for attacking depth.

Meanwhile, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens has emerged as a target, with fresh updates on his future at Borussia Dortmund intensifying speculation around a potential move.

Maresca’s arrival marks the start of a new chapter at Chelsea, and the club appears committed to backing him in the market. With questions surrounding the futures of Jadon Sancho and João Félix, the summer window could bring sweeping changes to the attacking lineup.
