Chelsea Eye Mega Million Move For Top Super Eagles Striker As Replacement For Lukaku

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen could be on his way to Premier League giants Chelsea this summer as those in charge of the Blues want him as replacement for Romelu Lukaku.

Last season in the Serie A, Victor Osimhen was superb for Napoli netting 15 goals in 28 League games and that made him a target for many clubs.

Romelu Lukaku on the other hand was unable to impress at Stamford Bridge last season and the Belgian striker has made a return to Inter Milan.

Todd Boehly has drawn up a shortlist of five strikers to replace Romelu Lukaku at Chelsea this summer.

Victor Osimhen did not win any title with Napoli, but the Nigerian striker won the Italian Serie A Most Valuable Player for U-23 footballers.

Also this month in the 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifiers, Victor Osimhen scored a goal against Sierra Leone before netting four against Sao Tome.
