However, Fabrizio Romano states that Osimhen may no longer be London bound.

The ex-Lille star cannot move to Chelsea as the finances for the deal are not feasible for the English club.

They are already falling foul of the Premier League's financial rules and have to sell players to comply.

Even if they sell the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Armando Broja, signing a cheaper forward is the likely option.
