Chelsea were interested in signing Victor Osimhen, the Napoli forward, at the end of the season. According to a report from the Standard, Paris Saint-Germain is also interested in the 25-year-old as a replacement for Kylian Mbappé. As a result, Chelsea is exploring other potential options. However, with their uncertain qualification for the Champions League next season, it may be challenging for the club to attract top-tier talents like Osimhen. The Standard report suggests that Chelsea is now considering moves for Evan Ferguson and Ivan Toney instead. Ferguson, a highly regarded young striker in the Premier League, has demonstrated his quality with Brighton. Whether Chelsea can reach an agreement with Brighton in the upcoming months remains to be seen. The 19-year-old has scored six goals and provided two assists across all competitions this season. It is well-known that Chelsea is in need of a reliable finisher. Nicolas Jackson has not met expectations, and the team has relied heavily on Cole Palmer for goals. In order to regain a spot in the Champions League and compete for trophies, Chelsea requires a quality striker. Ferguson possesses the necessary attributes to develop into a top-class Premier League forward. Not only is he a goalscorer, but the Republic of Ireland international also brings creativity and hold-up play to the team. Regular playing time under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino could further enhance his skills and help him reach his full potential.
