Transfer gossip: Chelsea linked with Osimhen

Some of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

Chelsea are among English clubs interested in Lille striker Victor Osimhen, it is claimed.

Sky Sports News HQ say the Blues, Tottenham and Liverpool are monitoring the Nigeria international.

But Sky also reckon Osimhen, who recently played against Chelsea in the Champions League, is happy at Lille and that the French club would not sell unless they receive a huge bid.


Zaha could cost £80m – Mail

Chelsea continue to be linked with Wilfried Zaha – but the Daily Mail say Crystal Palace are refusing to lower their asking price.

Zaha is among several players Chelsea have been tipped to move for when next month’s transfer window opens.

But the Mail suggest a deal is unlikely unless the Blues are willing to pay £80m for the Ivory Coast international.


Ake speculation continues

Chelsea also continue to be linked with their former defender Nathan Ake.

A £40m buy-back clause was included in the deal which saw Ake leave Chelsea for Bournemouth in 2017.

And the Daily Mirror claim Bournemouth are eyeing Everton’s Mason Holgate as a possible replacement for the Dutchman.
