With seven goals in all competitions this season, Nicolas Jackson leads Chelsea in scoring, but Mauricio Pochettino’s team has had trouble finishing games when they get the opportunity.

Ivan Toney was previously pursued by Chelsea, but they are up against fierce competition from Arsenal and Brentford, who are demanding a transfer fee of £80 million.

Osimhen is presently at the top of Chelsea’s shortlist, and Pochettino is eager for the team to add another striker, according to The Telegraph.

In addition, the report states that Osimhen is open to joining Chelsea even if they don’t play Champions League football.

But Napoli is expected to want for a transfer fee that exceeds £100 million.

‘We’re crying out for him,’ Mikel said.

‘You look at our Chelsea team, we’re not playing that great at the minute but then we lack goals, we lack a striker who can run into spaces, who can create.

‘I was watching Darwin Nunez for Liverpool, he had about 11 shots and all the runs he made, he created those chances by himself because he was running in behind.

‘That’s something Victor will give us at Chelsea, a striker who is really willing to run behind, obviously those passes will come through and he will get goals.

‘I think we’re crying out for goals, if he comes to Chelsea I think it will suit him really well because we don’t have anyone doing that right now so there’s not going to be too much pressure on him coming into the club because obviously we need that, we’re crying out for that.

‘You know, my advice is for him to come to Chelsea.’
