Victor Osimhen remains committed to joining Chelsea, despite the departure of Mauricio Pochettino as manager. Chelsea leads the race for the striker, ahead of Paris Saint-Germain and Saudi clubs. Pochettino parted ways with Chelsea after months of speculation, leaving Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night. He believes he has positioned the club for improvement next season, while Chelsea’s leadership seeks a new manager to elevate the team further.
Pochettino might replace Erik ten Hag at Manchester United, and Chelsea is considering Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna, a former Manchester United coach, for their managerial vacancy. Despite Pochettino’s exit, Chelsea’s transfer plans remain largely unchanged. The club recognizes the need for a significant investment in their attack, with Victor Osimhen as their primary target.
