Former English Premier League champions Chelsea could swoop
in for Victor Osimhen to replace Romelu Lukaku if the Belgian attacker leaves
this summer.
It has been a regrettable season for Lukaku. He has plunged
from being the chief cornerstone for Inter Milan in their title triumph to being
a peripheral player for an ailing Chelsea.
The 28-year-old attacker has failed to repay the €113million
fee Chelsea paid for him last summer. The Belgian forward has made 40
appearances this season, recording twelve goals and two assists.
Lukaku is unsettled at the Bridge and could move on this
summer.
However, Chelsea couldn’t be bothered, as he does not seem
to fit into Thomas Tuchel’s setup. Nonetheless, the Blues would be searching
for a replacement if the big Belgian leaves. And according to GFFN, the
two-time Champions League winners could target Osimhen.

Victor Osimhen could become a target for Chelsea in the event of Romelu Lukaku's exit, report @repubblica. Napoli have already contacted Gianluca Scamacca, who is seen as a replacement for Osimhen.https://t.co/zbWy115ODf

Osimhen has been linked to various clubs, but Arsenal,
Manchester United, and Newcastle are the forerunners.
The Nigeria international has been sensational for Napoli
this season, scoring 17 goals and assisting six in 29 appearances.
The blues have a challenging task luring Osimhen as Napoli
could capitalize on the interests of other Premier League clubs and increase
their asking fee.
