"Dependable player." - Chelsea now ready to splash £75M cash on "clinical finisher" after Everton draw.


Chelsea are on the search for a clinical striker after Nicolas Jackson's wasteful display against the Toffees. 

The Blues have identified Victor Osimhen as their top target to replace Nicolas Jackson. 

So far, Osimhen has 12 goals and 4 assists in 15 games for Galatasaray. But his fine form will not help him in getting his place back at Napoli. In addition, they player is unwilling to stay at Turkey which increases his chances of landing at Chelsea. 

According to Fichajes, both Chelsea have shown interest in the 25 year old. The Blues still rate Osimhen highly and are willing to sign him next year. Same has been the case for the Red Devils who are keen to improve their squad. Both clubs are willing to pay around €75 million and Napoli are happy to let the Nigerian leave.

Nicolas Jackson has been in superb form this season. But, the Blues are still keen to add another striker. In addition, Nkunku is very likely to leave which will open up space. Osimhen will directly replace Jackson from the starting lineup.

 HELLO BLUES AND WELCOME TO TODAY'S LIVE STREAM! Manchester City have the chance to narrow the gap on Arsenal when they host a manager-less Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium tonight. After the Gunners’ dramatic 3-2 victory over Bournemouth on Saturday, City now sit seven points behind in the Premier League title race. Their opponents, however, face their own challenges following the sudden exit of Enzo Maresca on New Year’s Day. Chelsea remain an unknown quantity under Calum McFarlane, their Under-21 boss, who steps into the dugout for the first time in senior football. Going up against Pep Guardiola, it ranks as one of the most lopsided managerial matchups imaginable – though in this unpredictable season, anything could happen. So who will replace Enzo Maresca permanently? Liam Rosenior is the front-runner after his impressive spell at Strasbourg, another club owned by Todd Boehly and BlueCo. Yet reports suggest Chelsea have also opened discussions with Newcastle boss Eddie Howe. With...

  HELLO BLUES AND WELCOME TO TODAY'S LIVE STREAM! Today’s game is a repeat of last season’s final in which Chelsea won 3-0 to complete a domestic treble. While Chelsea are still fighting on four fronts, the prospect of Sonia Bompastor’s side winning another treble is no longer on the cards after back to back defeats against Arsenal and Manchester City in the league. But they bounced back with wins against Spurs and Liverpool to put them within a point of Manchester United in the WSL. Meanwhile, Manchester United are buoyant. They haven’t lost a game since November and Marc Skinner registered his 100th win with the club when they beat Atletico Madrid 2-0 to complete a 5-0 aggregate victory over them in the Champions League on Wednesday. Today’s game will be preparation for when both clubs meet again next month in the League Cup Final.

 Well, here we go Chelsea, Barca, Champions League. These are the games football dreams are made of. These are the games that can define seasons. These are the games that can live on in history, in memory forever. Let’s make it iconic! Enzo Maresca, not unexpectedly, has opted for our “big-game” lineup, which features both Reece James and Malo Gusto, and this time around, features no recognized striker. Presumably, it’ll be Pedro Neto leading a fluid front line, which, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, does feature Estevao from the start! Big stage, big opportunity for the wonderboy. Welcome back, Andreas Christensen! Here we go. Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Sanchez | Cucurella, Chalobah, Fofana, Gusto | Caicedo, James (c) | Garnacho, Enzo, Estevao | Neto Substitutes: Jorgensen, Acheampong, Tosin, Hato, Badiashile, Santos, Buonanotte, Gittens, George, Guiu, Joao Pedro, Delap Barcelona starting XI: Joan Garcia, Balde, R.Araujo, Cubarsi, Ferran, Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Fermin, ...

 The Blues travel to Molineux seeking a seventh win in nine games, with a pair of Carabao Cup semi-final losses the only blemishes on their record so far under Liam Rosenior. The new boss has experimented with his line-up in recent outings, but questions marks over the fitness of key players including Reece James mean Chelsea return to a more familiar formation today. The west Londoners are in a close-fought battle for the top four at the moment, with rivals Manchester United beating Tottenham in the early Premier League kick-off while Liverpool face title hopefuls Manchester City on Sunday, making a statement win against the division’s bottom side more or less a necessity. Wolves, though, have tightened up at the back under Rob Edwards in recent weeks, managing to frustrate Arsenal and Liverpool in narrow losses before holding United and Newcastle to stalemates. Team news: Two changes for Chelsea, two debuts for Wolves Two changes for Chelsea, then, as Pedro Neto and Cole Palmer r...
