Chelsea bow out of Osimhen race, Arsenal and PSG still in the mix

Football Italia is reporting that ‘Chelsea have shifted its focus to Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion, effectively closing the door on a potential transfer for Victor Osimhen.’

Osimhen has been a subject of intense transfer speculation with Chelsea named as one of the suitors but it seems the west London side are moving on after failing to agree a deal with Napoli and the player.

Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio says Paris Saint-Germain remain interested in Osimhen.

Arsenal have been reported to have re-entered the fray for the Nigerian whose future is still unresolved after the Nigerian was reported to be unenthusiastic about the Chelsea interest.

Osimhen is also linked to some clubs in Saudi Arabia but no concrete offer has been made.

The Nigerian is reported to have agreed personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain but the Ligue 1 club reluctant to pay the player’s 130m euros release clause.

The 25 year old does not feature in gaffer, Anthonio Conte’s plan this season and has been snubbed in all five pre-season games the club has so far played.
