Victor Osimhen 'decides' on Chelsea transfer chaos as Todd Boehly chases double deal
Chelsea earned their first Premier League win under Enzo Maresca with a thrilling 6-2 win at Wolves on Sunday.
The Blues will now look to finish the job in Switzerland against Servette on Thursday night as they seek a place in the league phase of the Conference League. Chelsea may also have one eye on Friday's transfer deadline at 11pm with several new additions potentially being made to Maresca's squad.
Manchester United's Jadon Sancho has been linked with a shock move to West London whilst Napoli striker Victor Osimihen continues to be a name mentioned. Below, football.london takes a look at some of the latest media reports around Stamford Bridge...
Osimihen 'refuses' move amid striker choas
Osimhen is said to be refusing a move to London and Chelsea. Italian publication Corriere dello Sport are reporting that Napoli are exploring a possible deal with the Blues involving Romelu Lukaku. However, the Nigerian does not want to move, especially on loan.
Football.london's Isaac Seelochan says: "A striker is possibly the only position Chelsea need to look at with Nicolas Jackson yet to convince, even after his goal against Wolves on Sunday. Osimhen is someone they've been heavily linked with and it would be great to see him play in the Premier League.
"It's a failure of Chelsea's recruitment strategy that they have signed so many players but haven't got a reliable number nine. And if these reports are correct, Osimhen isn't too keen on joining what has been a chaotic project at Stamford Bridge."

Jhon Duran interest amid double signing push
Chelsea reportedly remain interested in a new striker and a centre-back before Friday's transfer deadline. Fabrizio Romano told CaughtOffside: “Keep an eye on the striker situation, as another player they still like is Jhon Duran.”
He added: “And then a potential last-minute centre-back. It’s not guaranteed, it’s not sure, but they are discussing.”
Football.london's Isaac Seelochan says: "It would be madness for Chelsea to sign another centre-back. Surely there is a player in their youth team who can step up if they are short in the position?
"The striker position is more understandable as it's a weak area of their squad. Duran is better than what the Blues have already got, however, he won't take Chelsea to the next level like a signing such as Osimihen could."
