Chelsea have reportedly made initial contact with Napoli over a players-plus-cash deal involving Romelu Lukaku for Victor Osimhen.

The Blues have been heavily linked with a move for the forward in recent years, with the Nigeria international looking like a move could finally materialise.

Nicolas Jackson has been trusted to lead the Blues' line this season, with Armando Broja departing on loan in January and Deivid Washington seeing his minutes limited.

Benjamin Sesko has also been linked to Chelsea in recent weeks, but the RB Leipzig striker is just as inexperienced as Jackson.

As reported by Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Chelsea have now made initial contact with Napoli for Osimhen.
