Osimhen's agent, Roberto Calenda, denied reports that the 25-year-old would move to the Stamford Bridge club on loan as his future remains uncertain.

New information claims Tottenham Hotspur are now considering the wantaway Napoli star as they seek to fill the void occasioned by Harry Kane’s departure.

Football Insider reports that manager Ange Postecoglou is in search of a proven striker ahead of the 2024/2025 football season.

Recall that Osimhen, who joined Napoli in 2020 for a staggering fee of €77.5m, has continued to paint Italy with goals, and his 26 league goals helped the club to the Scudetto in the 2023/2024 season.

A huge financial investment is required to complete the striker's transfer, as Napoli have inserted a €130m release clause in his contract.

It remains to be seen if Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will be willing to make such a substantial commitment.
