Following the signing of a new contract, Cole Palmer, who led Chelsea in goals last season, will be eager to continue his strong play and help propel Enzo Maresca’s Blues to a Champions League position.
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen, who has been heavily linked to Chelsea this summer, might be a useful addition who relieves Palmer of potential double-teaming this season.Last year, Osimhen played 2,476 minutes for Napoli in all competitions in 32 games, tallying 17 goals and 4 assists.
The recruiting staff is keeping an eye on more than just him, though.
