Chelsea are preparing a bid for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

The Sun says the Blues' new owners believe the Nigeria international could be the final piece in a puzzle having already spent more than £600m.

And they would be prepared to break the British transfer record of £107m they have just set for Enzo Fernandez in order to land Osimhen.

The striker, 24, is set to be one of the most in-demand players in the next transfer window.

Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs also in the hunt for Osimhen, whose 14 goals in 16 Serie A games have sent Napoli to the top of the table.

The Italian giants don't want to lose their star man but are confident of generating a high-stakes auction for a player who will have two years left on his contract in the summer.
