Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano has stated that English side Chelsea is still much in the race to sign Nigeria Talisman, Victor Osimhen, Nigeriasoccernet.com gathers.
The Super Eagles striker has been the subject of transfer speculation since the end of last season. Although a couple of clubs like PSG, and Arsenal have shown interest in having him in their ranks, his transfer fee has been a major obstacle to his exit from Italy.
With the transfer window gradually winding up, the future of the former Serie A top scorer looks uncertain despite his official request to leave club some days back.
"Chelsea have never left the race for Victor Osimhen, despite reports this month. Interest has always been and remains there, but Osimhen’s still only open to leaving only on permanent transfer and not reducing his salary. No changes so far," Fabrizio wrote on X

Osimhen have never hidden his admiration for the Premier League and the 25 year old may get his wishes before the end of this tranfer window.
