Chelsea were linked with a number of strikers during the summer transfer window.

Names like Jhon Duran, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jonathan David were mentioned, while there was a failed move for Samu Omorodion.

However, it was Victor Osimhen that Chelsea really pushed hard to sign.

The Athletic has now revealed some details of Chelsea’s big late push to sign Victor Osimhen before transfer deadline.

According to the report, Chelsea explored up to seven different payment structures of the personal terms for Osimhen.

Osimhen wanted to join Chelsea but didn’t appreciate the salary offer from Chelsea.

Osimhen was the only striker that Chelsea really wanted. The Blues are now ready to stick with Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu.
