Chelsea are leaping to the forefront of the race to sign Victor Osimhen this summer.

The Napoli and Nigeria striker is one of the hottest properties in world football.

Osimhen, who won Serie A last season, has scored 11 goals and managed 3 assists in 17 league games this term.

While he has not hit the heights of last term, Il Mattino states that the Blues are ready to make a big offer.

They are prepared to splash £77 million on the forward, but even that may not be enough.

Per Fabrizio Romano, there is a release clause of £112 million in Osimhen's new Napoli contract.
