Revealed: Why Osimhen's Chelsea Move 'Collapsed'

Revealed: Why Osimhen's Chelsea Move 'Collapsed'

It has reportedly been revealed why Nigeria star Victor Osimhen rejected a move to Chelsea on Deadline Day.

Various reports on Friday claimed that Napoli had agreed a fee with Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli, but there was no agreement with the player.

Fabrizio Romano reported that Chelsea were also keen and made an offer to the Nigeria international.

According to Sky Sports Italia, the reason Osimhen's move to Stamford Bridge did not happen was due to Chelsea's offer not satisfying the player.

Al Ahli ended up signing Brentford striker Ivan Toney in the final hours of the transfer window, while Osimhen will remain in Naples.

However, the Super Eagles will play no part for Antonio Conte this season as he was not registered in Serie A for the club.

The Naples club have also stripped the striker of his number nine jersey and have assigned the number to new signing Romelu Lukaku, who signed earlier in the week.
