By Victor Osimhen, How Chelsea Could Sign a Nigerian Striker in January and Comply With FFP Rules.
Chelsea of the English Premier League would have to offload more strikers in order to sign Nigerian international Victor Osimhen in January without breaking Financial Fair Play rules.
Stamford Bridge would be the ideal location for the problematic Nigerian international if he can force his way out of the Italian club.
Osimhen’s agent recently issued a warning to Napoli in response to a TikTok video that seemed to mock him for missing a penalty.
Last Saturday, Napoli and Bologna battled to a scoreless draw in a Serie A game. The 24-year-old forward’s penalty shot was off-target.
The Financial Fair Play laws, which last until June 2025, will make it difficult for Chelsea to honor his Partenopei contract.
The summer transfer window saw Todd Boehly’s squad spend £400 million, and they added to that sum by profiting from the sales of several key players.
For more lucrative roles, Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Kai Havertz, and Kalidou Koulibaly all left the London club.
Further sales will be necessary, per Football Insider, if Chelsea is to solve its striker difficulties with the addition of Osimhen in the January or summer 2024 transfer windows.
Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke, according to sources, have played the fewest minutes this season of any player under Mauricio Pochettino.
Christopher Nkunku, who is striving to join the first squad, has also drawn attention because an injury could keep him out till the end of the year.
After the Italian team made fun of him on their official TikTok account this week, the Nigerian international deleted all of the Italian team-related posts from his Instagram account.
Former Lille striker Osimhen was criticized by Fruscio for her behavior, and angry Nigerians reacted by attacking her in the post’s comments section.
