The Blues were desperate to sign Victor Osimhen from Napoli on transfer deadline day, but he refused to accept a pay-cut.

The Serie A outfit were open to sanctioning a temporary deal with an option to buy, but the striker refused to agree on terms.

Osimhen has since joined Galatasaray on loan, but there is a break clause in his contract that can be triggered in January.

It is unclear whether Chelsea will return for him, but reports claim that the Blues are determined to land a new marksman.
