Chelsea target Victor Osimhen has appeared to drop another hint over a possible move to the Blues.
The striker is Mauricio Pochettino's dream signing to solve his goalscoring issues up front and the club remain confident of a future move despite the player agreeing a new contract with Napoli.
Pochettino wants a target man-style forward to add height, physicality and goals to his team. Osimhen fired Napoli to the Serie A title last season and is open to joining, though a deal may have to wait until the summer.
Chelsea are also interested in Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres and Brentford’s Ivan Toney, as well as teenagers Roony Bardghji at FC Copenhagen and Antonio Nusa at Club Brugge.

But it appears their key target is ready to tease Chelsea fans for the time being. A fan got an unexpected reply when taking to social media platform X - formerly Twitter - to mark Osimhen's birthday.
He wrote: “Happy Birthday Victor Osimhen, pls come and rescue Chelsea soon,” alongside an image of the striker as a youngster in a Chelsea shirt.
Osimhen replied with two heart emojis, alongside a praying emoji.
