After seeing Victor Osimhen’s performance during the just concluded AFCON, Chelsea is now moving to secure the services of a £43 million striker following his impressive performance in the Champions League last night.

One of the major narratives of the approaching transfer window could revolve around Chelsea’s pursuit of a new striker for the upcoming season.

In January, they opted not to rectify what many perceive as a significant issue, opting instead to loan out one of their limited options.

Armando Broja recently transferred to Fulham from West London, but he’s yet to hit his stride in his new club.

With his absence, there’s added pressure on Nicolas Jackson to score goals, which he managed to do in one of his two starts since the African Cup of Nations.

Nevertheless, it’s evident that Fulham will likely seek a new striker, possibly a number nine, and they seem prepared to make significant financial investments in this position over the next couple of seasons.

It has often been suggested that Victor Osimhen is the leading candidate for this position, although some might have had reservations due to his recent displays for Nigeria.

If any executives from the club tuned in to last night’s Champions League match between RB Leipzig and Real Madrid, they may have been observing with keen interest.

Benjamin Sesko spearheaded the attack for the Bundesliga outfit, posing considerable challenges to the Madrid defense.

Chelsea should consider Sesko’s potential:
Although his team suffered a narrow loss, many observers believe they outperformed their opponents, with the 20-year-old showing great promise.

Reports suggest he could be acquired for approximately £43 million, a more affordable option compared to several others on their radar.

Chelsea have also been linked with Viktor Gyokeres, currently the striker in Europe with the highest combined goals and assists.
