After losing their season's opening game, Chelsea officials and fans agree that they need a proven striker.

There is still a lot to do with less than one week until the transfer window closes.

Football London reports that Chelsea's inefficiency of having over 15 players training separately cannot be overstated.

Osimhen has been linked with several top clubs this summer, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, PSG, and Bayern Munich.

Two clubs from Saudi Arabia also made enquiries about the wantaway Napoli striker, but his future remains unclear.

Fabrizio shares update on Osimhen

Legit.ng earlier reported that football transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano provided an update on Victor Osimhen's lingering transfer situation.

The Nigerian international has been a subject of the summer transfer window for some time now amid interest from top clubs.

Napoli have struggled to come to terms with the fact that the 25-year-old is desperate to leave the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, but they have insisted that suitors ready to sign the player must cough up the release clause of €120m/€130milion.
