Although Athletic’s David Omstein did not include the Nigerian international striker Victor Osimhen on his roster, rumors have circulated that Chelsea is interested in the player.
The Blues are eager to add to their attacking options beyond the season, according to Ornstein. Because they don’t have a reliable scorer, the Blues have squandered numerous opportunities this season.
Hugo Ekitike, Benjamin Sesko, and Liam Delap are the candidates being considered by Chelsea, according to Ornstein. Each of the three has scored a total of twelve, twenty, or twenty-one goals this season.
The three strikers on Enzo Maresca’s roster are rumoured to be interested in different clubs: Delap in talks with Manchester United, Sesko with Arsenal, and Ekitike with Liverpool. But going into the new season, Chelsea will be certain they can buy a striker.

Cole Palmer, despite going scoreless in his past thirteen games for Chelsea, has scored fourteen goals in all competitions this season.
Chelsea are now in fifth place in the Premier League, and they have a great chance of making the Champions League next season provided they keep playing well.
