Fresh condition for Chelsea to sign Osimhen emerges
According to a report courtesy of Football Insider, the Nigerian forward could have a chance to join Chelsea in January.
However, the deal reportedly hinges on the potential departure of Christopher Nkunku from the Premier League club during the winter window.
Currently, the French forward is behind Nicolas Jackson in Chelsea’s pecking order, and the prospect of a transfer to secure regular playing time is being considered.
If Nkunku does leave Stamford Bridge, signing Osimhen would become Chelsea's top priority. The report suggests that a deal for the Nigerian striker could be finalised as early as January.
As speculation continues to build, it remains to be seen how Osimhen's future will unfold, with links to Chelsea gaining momentum as time passes.
