Chelsea transfer news – Christian Pulisic or Romelu Lukaku involved to sign Victor Osimhen in swap deal

Victor Osimhen is a player who is on everyone’s radar at the moment, given his immense work with Napoli this season. The Serie A goal machine is rumoured with a move away this summer, with wealthy European clubs lining up to sign him.

According to the latest from the Daily Mail, Chelsea are lining up to sign Osimhen. It’s thought that either Christian Pulisic or Romelu Lukaku will be used as a makeweight to bring his value down.
