Premier League Giant club, Chelsea have reportedly pulled out of the race to sign Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen from Napoli to instead move for Spanish-born Nigerian striker Samu Omorodion.
Mail Sport disclosed talks between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are advancing over Omorodion, who is set to cost the Blues a cool £30million despite scoring just nine goals from 35 LaLiga appearances in a loan stint with Alaves.
Chelsea had been heavily linked with a move for Osimhen in recent windows, with a swap deal involving Romelu Lukaku plus cash floated. However, Osimhen's £111m release clause has made it difficult for the deal to be sealed.
With Chelsea moving on from Osimhen, Sky Italy claims that Arsenal could now press ahead with a move for the Nigerian marksman.
