The Blues signed Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal earlier this summer, but the Senegalese has been disappointing with just two league goals so far.

As a result, the club could invest on a marquee signing up front and reports claim that they could make an ambitious swoop for Napoli's Osimhen.

Osimhen's current deal with the Serie A champions expires in June 2025 and he has no plans of putting pen-to-paper on a contract extension.

Napoli would ideally prefer to keep him until the end of the campaign, but the Blues are prepared to tempt them with a lucrative winter deal.

The club could be willing to pay as much as €150m as they look to ward off interest from other teams, who may only enter the race in the summer.

The Blues were successful with a similar strategy on Enzo Fernandez last winter and they are hopeful of repeating the same with Osimhen.
