Chelsea open talks for Victor Osimhen
After initially going cold on the move for Victor Osimhen, Chelsea have stepped up their pursuit of the player. Italian outlets report the Blues have opened talks with Napoli for the Nigeria international.
MySportDab understands Napoli are still holding out for their £110 asking price for the player with Chelsea reluctant to meet the demand.
However, the Blues are set to explore a swap option for Osimhen with Romelu Lukaku set to move in the opposite direction.
Meanwhile, PSG, who initially led the race for Osimhen, has marched breaks on the move due to Napoli’s valuation of the player.

Nevertheless, sources close to Manchester United reveal the club is still ready to return to the Ugarte move should PSG change their stand on the player.
