Chelsea are set to miss out on Victor Osimhen with the striker closing in on a £67.3m move to Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli from Napoli. Chelsea had been tracking the Nigeria international all summer and were prepared to bring the 25-year-old on loan with an obligation to buy. But Al Ahli had also been long-term admirers of Osimhen and moved ahead of Chelsea as they agreed a four-year contract worth around £33.6m a season - or £646,154 per-week - tax-free.
Chelsea to turn to Toney? With Chelsea missing out on Osimhen, Enzo Maresca's side could turn their attentions to Brentford striker Ivan Toney on Deadline Day as they search for a proven goalscorer to be their new No 9. Chelsea made a move for Toney earlier this week because of his scoring record, his Premier League experience, his relatively low wages and the fact he has only one year left on his contract.
