Maresca sends message to world class Chelsea target as striker still wanted!

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has told the likes of Napoli star Victor Osimhen that the club are still interested in signing a striker.

He has already put in a transfer request in order to force a move out of the club and Napoli are willing to allow the star to leave if the right amount of money is paid – with reports suggesting that £87 million will get the Nigerian star all signed up.

One of Victor Osimhen’s former team-mates recently hinted the striker has already chosen his next club as he continues to be linked with Premier League rivals CHELSEA and Arsenal.

Unfortunately for Arsenal, we are still believed to be at the front of the queue to sign Osimhen and one of his former team-mates has hinted a move to Stamford Bridge is close.

‘Osimhen to CHELSEA … Here we go!!!’ ex-Nigeria midfielder John Ogu posted on X.

Now – with the transfer window closing in just a few days time – Maresca  was asked about the club’s plans to target a striker in the closing stages of the transfer window, Maresca said: ‘If we have the chance to bring in a nine that can help us and make the difference, then we are going to try. Otherwise, we are okay.

‘We do not need to sign players just to sign players. If we sign players and they help us to improve, then for sure we need players.

‘Otherwise, we are happy with the way we are.’
