Chelsea have joined the race to sign Victor Osimhen from Galatasaray, according to Soccernet.
It is believed that the Turkish giants have slapped a €150m transfer fee on Osimhen.
This comes amid comments made by the head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle.
Chelle claimed he did not invite Osimhen for the friendlies against Poland and Portugal due to transfer talks.
“Victor Osimhen will not be in our friendly matches against Poland and Portugal. Because there may be a possibility of a club change. Therefore, I preferred him to stay at home. If your mind is not 100% here, going out on the field to play does not create a good situation,” Chelle said.
Osimhen, however, came out to insist that Chelle’s comments were taken out of context.
