Chelsea is considering three footballers for the striker position

Chelsea is considering signing a new striker in the upcoming winter transfer window, as reported by journalist Nizaar Kinsella of the Evening Standard.

The top priority for the Blues is Victor Osimhen. However, it is more likely that Chelsea will attempt to sign the Nigerian striker in the summer. In London, they hope he will choose their club to continue his career. According to Osimhen, his favorite footballer is Chelsea legend Didier Drogba. Napoli values their player at €100 million.

Chelsea is still exploring the possibility of acquiring a striker in January. It is expected that the Blues will wait until at least mid-December to finalize their plans for the winter transfer window.

In addition to Osimhen, Chelsea's shortlist includes Ivan Toney, a striker from Brentford, and Antonio Nusa, a player from Brugge.

It was previously reported that Chelsea is ready to enter the race for Mbappé if Real Madrid fails to sign him. Chelsea's interest is based on the good relationship between current manager Mauricio Pochettino and Kylian - they worked together at PSG and still maintain a connection.

Moreover, the Madrid club does not intend to resist offers from Premier League clubs if they are significantly more advantageous from a financial point of view.
