Victor Osimhen is said to be high on Chelsea's summer transfer wish list and the Blues have attempted to strike a deal for Mauricio Pochettino, according to reports. The Nigerian leader could be the first victim of Napoli's stunning success in Serie A this summer after boss Luciano Spalletti said he would leave the club at the end of the season.
The great Osimhen is one of the stars of the show - along with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia - at Napoli this season, but after bringing the Partenopei back to the Scudetto, he may be looking for a new challenge.
According to Sky Germany, Pochettino wants Osimhen at Chelsea and the 24-year-old is at the top of their summer list as they look for a new centre-back to resume their fortunes on the pitch. Chelsea are also said to be interested in Harry Kane and Lautaro Martinez, but it looks like they are spending a fortune on the Nigeria international, who has scored 23 goals in 30 Serie A games this season.
This is the first time there has been any sign of Chelsea prioritizing attack after being linked with a host of big names.

But with Osimhen also wanting to fulfill his childhood dream of playing in the Premier League, it looks like a move could actually happen.
However, the report also indicates that Chelsea's failure to qualify for next season's Champions League could be a potential setback.
Indeed, ideally Osimhen would like to play in Europe's elite club league, where he has previously played for Lille and Napoli. It feels like Osimhen has some unfinished business in the league after missing Napoli's quarter-final first leg against AC Milan through injury before his team was knocked out after the second leg by roller coaster. in Naples.
However, it remains unclear whether Chelsea's failure to qualify for European football could derail their transfer hopes.
Speaking earlier in March, Osimhen said playing in the Premier League was his dream sitting next to Napoli president Aurelio Di Laurentiis.
“I think playing in one of the top five leagues in the world [Serie A] is a great feeling for me,” said Osimhen.
“A lot of people in the world consider the Premier League to be the best and strongest league, but now I am in one of the best leagues in the world, Italian Serie A. "I'm working very hard to make sure that one day I achieve my dream of playing in the Premier League, but like I said, it's a process and I just want to keep the momentum going and keep playing. good fight."
Manchester United are also said to be interested in Osimhen, but are said to be giving preference to Tottenham frontman Kane.
Although it looks like Chelsea are leading United, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich in the race for Osimhen, they still need to raise significant funds through player sales to continue their overspending.
Napoli currently values ??the Osimhen amulet at £130m - a figure second to none.
