Chelsea join fight for Osimhen

He is just 21 but has become one of the sensations of Ligue 1. Lille forward, Victor Osimhen, is one of the French side's most wanted players.

'Le10Sport' assure that Chelsea are after the Lille striker. In fact, the Blues have reportedly already contacted the French club to know the willingness for future negotiation.

Lile president, Gérard López, confirmed having some offers to sell Osimhen, and one of them would be precisely Chelsea, interested in finding a number 9 to compete with Tammy Abraham.

Frank Lampard's side will have it tough because other big sides such as Liverpool and Real Madrid are also closely following the developments of the Nigerian forward.

It remains clear that the bid for Osimhen has now started ahead of the summer. For now, Lille have put a 50 million price tag on him, a value that will expand with regards to the bids that come in.

But Osimhen isn't the only Lille player that Chelsea want. The aforementioned source also assures that the Brazilian defender Gabriel is also in the Blues' plans.
