Chelsea is actively pursuing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as their top choice to address their scoring problems, as per Calciomercato.

The Premier League club, under the leadership of Mauricio Pochettino, is in search of a No. 9 and is exploring various options across Europe.

However, it's reported that signing the 24-year-old Nigerian international would be a "dream" acquisition for Chelsea.

While Chelsea brought in Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal during the summer, the 22-year-old has only managed to score two goals in nine games.

This lack of consistent goal-scoring has prompted Chelsea to prioritise adding attacking reinforcements once the January transfer window opens.

Osimhen's contract with Napoli is set to expire in the summer of 2025, and recent reports suggest that little progress has been made in negotiations for an extension.

This situation could work to Chelsea's advantage if they decide to pursue him.

Additionally, Chelsea is looking to part ways with Romelu Lukaku, who is currently on loan at AS Roma, on a permanent basis.

Chelsea hopes that the funds generated from such a deal with Lukaku can contribute to covering Osimhen's transfer fee, which is estimated to be around €120 million.

Osimhen has maintained his impressive form in Serie A this season, having scored six goals in eight league appearances.
