Why Chelsea reconsider Osimhen's deal

In other news, Legit.ng reported that Chelsea are stalling on Victor Osimhen's deal as they would not want to disrupt the progress of Nicolas Jackson.

The Blues evidently need a goalscoring number nine, and Osimhen ticks the boxes, but aside from the financial implications of the deal, the Londoners have other things to consider.
