Napoli striker Victor Osimhen leading Chelsea's three-man shortlist for January

Chelsea are reportedly interested in adding a reliable striker to Mauricio Pochettino's squad during the winter transfer window, and there are already several players on the Blues' radar. 

However, the London outfit have one main target among those players. Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is leading the list of candidates to strengthen the Blues' attack in January, according to the Evening Standard.

The Nigerian is not having the best of times with the Italian club after a dispute between the two over a video the club posted on social media mocking the player. This has led to speculation that the Nigeria international could try to leave the club and try his luck in the Premier League.

Furthermore, Osimhen in a chat with 'Obi One Podcast' made it clear that the Premier League is 'appreciated by every African player' and that he has a Chelsea jersey.

Nevertheless, it will not be an easy task for the Blues as Napoli president Aurelio Di Laurentiis is putting an asking price of 150 million on the player.
