Alan Hutton has suggested that Chelsea should be willing to pay the high price tag for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window. Gazzetta dello Sport recently reported that the Blues are expected to make a bid of €120m (£107m) for the Nigerian international. Hutton believes that the London club have the financial power to make the move and that Osimhen would be a great addition to their attack. He praised the player’s pace, strength, aggression, and goal-scoring ability, and suggested that if any team can afford the fee, it is Chelsea. IcFootballnews View… Money talks and if Chelsea offer the right amount of money, Napoli will let their star man go. He is having the best season of his life and the Blues would be lucky to have him in the Premier League. However, there are other clubs interested in a possible deal. Nevertheless, he would be a great signing for Chelsea as he has the potential to score the goals the club have been missing in recent years.
Chelsea have long been linked with a move for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, and former Premier League defender Alan Hutton has recently suggested that the London club should have no hesitation in paying the high price tag necessary to secure his services.
Gazzetta dello Sport recently reported that Chelsea were expected to bid €120m (£107m) for the Nigerian international, and Hutton has backed this move. Speaking on a recent episode of TalkTheTalk, the former Scotland international said: “If any team can afford that fee, it is Chelsea. He’s got everything, he’s got strength, aggression, pace, his goal-scoring record since he moved to Napoli has been unbelievable, that’s why a lot of clubs are looking at him.”
It’s yet to be seen how Napoli would respond to any approach from the Blues, with other clubs such as Inter Milan also reportedly interested in the player. However, if Chelsea are serious about making him their latest high-profile acquisition, then they are certainly in a strong position to make the deal happen. The 23-year-old has been in sensational form for his club this season and he could provide the perfect solution to the Blues’ goal-scoring problems from the past few years.
In an ideal world, Chelsea would not have to pay such a high fee for the player, however, such is the modern game that if the price is right then it might be hard for the Blues to ignore. Osimhen is a surefire world-class talent and if the move were to materialise, then he would no doubt be a great asset to the team.
