Chelsea are still keen on signing Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen despite closing in on a deal to sign Senegalese forward Nicolas Jackson.
​
​
As reported by 90min.com, Chelsea will still like to add Osimhen to their ranks despite the potential arrival of Jackson as they seek to bolster the attacking department.
​

Jackson scored 12 goals in 26 matches for Villarreal in La Liga last season with 9 of them coming in the last 12 games and could be the Blues’ first signing of the summer transfer window.
​
​
​While the London-based club still maintain an interest in Osimhen, they are worried that his 150 million euros )valuation could make it difficult to strike a deal with Napoli.
​
​
The Nigerian striker has established himself as one of the most prolific strikers in Europe having bagged 31 goals in all competitions last season.
​
​
He also continued that form in the colours of the Super Eagles as he netted a brace in Nigeria’s 3-2 win over Sierra Leone in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers yesterday.
​
​
The 24-year-old is also a priority target for French Ligue 1 Champions PSG as they seek to bolster their attacking options.
