We find it really hard to believe that Chelsea are going to buy Victor Osimhen in January.
He would just be so expensive, with Napoli so reluctant to sell. Plus Chelsea are now seemingly starting to see the advantages of keeping the same group together for a while to generate some chemistry – are they really ready to disrupt that with a third record breaking transfer in 12 months?
Very possibly, yes. David Ornstein has said he thinks it’s possible, and today sources in Spain claim that Real Madrid, our current main rival for the signature of the superb Nigerian forward, are ruling out a January move.
Perhaps, as we did with Enzo, we will consider a pre-emptive January strike, knowing that our rivals will be chasing much harder in the summer? It worked with the midfielder, and could work with Osimhen, if we can raise the £150m or so necessary to buy him without ruining our financial situation even further
