Transfer: Osimhen Missing As Chelsea Shortlist 3 Strikers For Summer Signing

Chelsea have drawn up a three-man striker shortlist for the summer, according to The Athletic.
Multiple reports have suggested that Chelsea are interested in Napoli-owned striker Victor Osimhen but the Nigerian international was not mentioned in Athletic’s David Omstein’s list.

Ornstein reports that the Blues are keen on bolstering their attacking options after the season.
The Blues have missed multiple chances in the ongoing season due to lack of a prolific striker.
According Ornstein, Chelsea are looking at Liam Delap, Benjamin Sesko, and Hugo Ekitike.

The trio has scored 12, 20 and 21 goals across competitions this season, respectively.
Enzo Maresca’s side will face competition for the signature of all three strikers, with Delap being linked to Manchester United, Sesko with Arsenal, and Ekitike with Liverpool.

However, Chelsea will be confident they can sign at least one of the strikers ahead of the new season.
Chelsea’s highest goal scorer this season is Cole Palmer, who has scored 14 goals across competitions despite failing to find the back of the net in his last 13 games.
