Victor Osimhen’s expected move to Chelsea has fallen apart just before the summer transfer window closed. The Nigerian striker and the Premier League club couldn’t reach an agreement, putting his future in question.
The deal with Chelsea broke down with only two hours left before the transfer deadline, ending hopes of Osimhen joining the team this season. His potential transfer to Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli also failed as the club chose to sign Brentford’s Ivan Toney instead.
This turn of events has reportedly damaged Osimhen’s relationship with his current club, Napoli. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, if no new offers come in before the Saudi Pro League’s transfer window closes, Osimhen might find himself excluded from Napoli’s first-team squad.
