Chelsea Targets £43m Winger and Two Priority Strikers
Chelsea is not slowing down in their pursuit of new talent this summer, with Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams reportedly on their radar. The 21-year-old has been a standout player for Bilbao, showcasing his skills with six goals and 11 assists this season. With a release clause of £43 million, Chelsea is considering making a move for the promising winger as they look to strengthen their squad under the ownership of Clearlake Capital-Todd Boehly.
In addition to Williams, Chelsea has made signing a new forward a top priority. Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko are the top two targets for the Blues. Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli at the end of the season, and Chelsea is leading the race for the Nigeria international’s signature. Paris Saint-Germain is also in the mix to secure Osimhen’s services as they seek to replace Kylian Mbappe.
Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel, who remains in contact with Osimhen, believes that the striker would welcome a move to Stamford Bridge. With interest from other clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, Osimhen has options but seems keen on a potential move to Chelsea. Obi Mikel is doing his part to persuade Osimhen to focus on joining the Blues this summer.
As Chelsea continues to revamp their squad, fans can expect more exciting transfer news in the coming months. Stay tuned for updates on Chelsea’s pursuit of new talent as they aim to bounce back from a disappointing season.
