Chelsea may try yet again to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this winter.

The Nigeria international left Serie A to join Galatasaray in the last hours of the summer transfer market in Turkey after a fallout with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Chelsea were constantly linked with the 25-year-old in recent months, but a move never materialized.

However, Corrierre dello Sport says Osimhen is still keen on moving to the Premier League, which may give the Blues an opportunity to seal the deal in January.

The striker's contract with Napoli expires in 2026, but he will most likely prefer to leave the Italian giants for good as soon as possible.
