The transfer window opens in June in EPL, but a few strikers have been linked to the Blues. Prominent among the forwards multiple reports say Chelsea are eyeing are Osimhen and Isak.
Osimhen has grown in the past few years to become one of the best strikers in the world. Isak, on the other hand, is having a fantastic season with 'the Magpies' having excelled at Borussia Dortmund and Real Sociedad in his senior career.
Both attackers are young, with Isak, 24, and Osimhen, 25.
Isak put in a brilliant display earlier on Saturday, April 13, for Newcastle United.
The ex-AIK man scored a goal in each half during Newcastle’s 4-0 league victory at home to Tottenham.
The productiveness of both goal-poachers has prompted debate online. Legit.ng captures some comments on X (formerly Twitter) below:
@OduzCfc quizzed:
"Chelsea fans, who would you rather want us to go for? Osimhen Or Isak?"
Olusegun Sobowale commented:
"Isak is highly injury prone o. Our medical would touch him now and he may not play for the entire year."
@lumen5000 said:
"As a striker, Osimhen's knack for finding the back of the net has caught the eye of top clubs globally."
@oloyegame wrote:
"I would take Osimhen in a heartbeat. Isak is not bad but I see Jackson (Nicolas) better in 2 seasons."
