Chelsea<\/a> are \u2018in the mix\u2019 to sign prolific Nigerian international centre-forward Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray next summer, according to TEAMtalk<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Osimhen has established himself as one of Europe\u2019s most consistent and prolific centre-forwards in recent years.<\/p>\n A quality frequently linked with Lagos-born Nigerians is the capacity to adapt and succeed in any setting, and Osimhen displayed exactly that following his move to Galatasaray, where he has played an instrumental role in helping the club secure their 25th and 26th S\u00fcper Lig titles.<\/p>\n Despite arriving three weeks after the season had already started, the striker still claimed the 2024\u201325 Gol Kral\u0131 award after finishing as the division\u2019s leading scorer with 26 goals.<\/p>\n Having also produced 30 goal contributions across all competitions for Galatasaray, he is once again expected to become one of the most in-demand forwards next summer, with multiple clubs, including Chelsea, eyeing a move.<\/p>\n This is according to TEAMtalk<\/em>, which claims that Osimhen\u2019s camp and intermediaries are exploring potential destinations for the centre-forward, with Chelsea also \u2018in the mix\u2019 following the arrival of Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n While the Nigerian has also been presented to other clubs like Real Madrid<\/a> and Barcelona<\/a>, the Blues remain firmly in the race, having held a long-standing interest in the prolific forward, the report adds.<\/p>\n![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
