DEADLINE DAY: Chelsea confirms DOUBLE transfer signings, registered both for squad ahead of next match - Squad number is confirmed.     

 Victor Osimhen's proposed move to Chelsea has taken yet another twist after the forward rejected a wage proposal from the Premier League outfit, according to reports.


It has been reported that the Napoli man has rebuffed an offer worth around €155,000 (£130,000) per week from a Chelsea delegation in Naples - although they are still trying to convince the player to make the move to Stamford Bridge according to journalist Fabrice Hawkins.

The Osimhen saga has rumbled on for much of the window with the striker seemingly out of favour with new Napoli manager Antonio Conte - he is yet to feature for Napoli this season. The Serie A side have already signed Osimhen's replacement, bringing in Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea in a deal worth £30m.

Latest reports from The Athletic suggest Osimhen has been the Blues ‘top target’ but the deal may rely on the 25-year-old agreeing to fit into their team and ‘incentive’ based wage structure. Earlier on transfer deadline day, Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli were touted with a move for the striker but now seem to have decided to move on and pursue the transfer of England striker Ivan Toney.

Osimhen is a proven goalscorer and was a crucial part of Napoli’s Scudetto-winning campaign of 2022/23 when he formed an unstoppable partnership with Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - the Nigerian netted 26 times in Serie A during the title-winning season. Although last season, he was set back by injuries he still managed to return impressive figures of 15 league goals in 25 appearances for Gli Azzurri.

RMC Sport journalist Hawkins reports that Chelsea are still 'trying to convince' Osimhen to complete the transfer, and that if no agreement is reached then the forward will stay in Italy. That would be something of a surprise given the fact Osimhen started the day with two transfer options to consider.

 “He’s going to be leaving Chelsea immediately after the EUROS, and I can tell they’ll regret selling him in the future, just like Chelsea regretted selling Mo Salah and KDB.” – Chelsea legend Didier Drogba issues a brutal warning to Chelsea after Enzo Maresca says he intends to release the ‘phenomenal’ star this summer for a very small fee. Didier Drogba has issued a blunt warning to Chelsea, cautioning them against selling their “phenomenal” player this summer. Drogba’s comments came in response to Enzo Maresca’s revelation that the player will be sold next month, a decision that Drogba believes will be deeply regretted in the future. Drawing parallels with Chelsea’s past mistakes, Drogba pointed to the sales of Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne (KDB) as examples of the consequences of letting talented players slip away. Salah, in particular, has gone on to become a Liverpool legend, leading the Reds to Champions League glory and terrorizing Premier League defenses. KDB, meanwhil...

 Fabrizio Romano has revealed Chelsea’s summer transfer plans, which include a €55 million striker. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has shut down a big transfer rumor from yesterday that fully got Chelsea fans excited and united in their desire for this player. This was a big story yesterday, but as expected, it soon got shut down by a couple of the top sources out there. EXCLUSIVE! Premier League striker wants Chelsea to move! Chelsea are never going to drop the money that would be needed to bring Alexander Isak away from Newcastle, are they? Not after what we heard about the likes of Michael Olise and Nico Williams deals being too expensive overall. Even though Chelsea dropped over £100 million in signing Enzo Fernandez and then again in Moises Caicedo, it looks like the days of Chelsea spending big money on individual players are over, and they are looking for young players as opportunities rather than buying an established player on big wages and for big money. That is at least...
