Chelsea Step Closer To Signing £127M star, £83M star Tipped For Chelsea Success, Striker ‘Will Bring’ Goals Chelsea
Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews that we think you guys could have missed today…
Viktor Gyokeres – a top transfer target for Manchester United and Arsenal – would ‘definitely’ be a success at CHELSEA, says former Blues star John Obi-Mikel, as the rumours continue to swirl regarding the gifted striker.
Gyokeres has once again been in tremendous form for Sporting Lisbon this season and already has 23 goals to his name, with four of those coming in the Champions League against Defending champions Manchester City.
He has been heavily tipped with a move to the Premier League, with many believing that he could follow Ruben Amorim to Man United, while it has been claimed that Arsenal are very much interested as they seek to add a 30 goals a season striker to their attack.
But asked on his Obi One Podcast if he thought the striker would be a success at Chelsea, with some reports claiming that the Blues have already made contact with the players representatives, the former midfielder replied: ‘Definitely. For me, he is a Premier League player, he’s a player that suits the Premier League.
‘He has every attribute to be a Premier League player, strong, big, quick, and most importantly goalscoring.
‘He can score goals and when you look at it, his goal scoring ratio is better than any striker right now in Europe, the stats are there to back it up.
‘He has been absolutely fantastic. Scoring three goals against Man City, you don’t hear that often. He has been fantastic and looks a little bit like [Erling] Haaland.’

When Gyokeres decides to leave Lisbon and make that next step in his career, it seems that he will have a few clubs to choose from and the decision will come down to him, and or course, money.
There is so much speculation over the lad that all clubs know that he will cost some serious money, CHELSEA can beat off most clubs, but it will be interesting to see where he ends up guys.
The Premier League will be the biggest test of his ability that is for sure.
OSIMHEN WILL BRING GOALS
TNT Sports pundit Eni Aluko has come out and claimed that Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen would guarantee you goals, with constant reports that Chelsea are still keen on adding the striker to their attack at some point.
Premier League bound?
During the summer transfer window, there was a hell of alot of transfer speculation that CHELSEA were working hard to try and get Osimhen all signed up, that he was a player the club really wanted to sign after he revealed he wanted out of Napol.
But despite all the speculation, despite all the hype, despite all the potential excitement from Blues fans, Chelsea did not want to pay his massive asking price and in the end, the Blues missed out on getting the big Nigerian star and he eventually made his way to Galatasaray.
Osimhen reminded his former and current suitors of his goalscoring prowess on Thursday night, finding the net against Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League, although he missed alot of chances to add to his two goals against the Premier League side.
Now, amid all the speculation and rumours, TNT Sports pundit Eni Aluko believes that Premier League sides should be exploring the possibility of signing the striker permanently from Napoli. The Nigerian has netted four goals in five domestic games for Galatasaray.
The TNT Sports expert said: “He’s guaranteed goals. Even though he’s fallen out with Napoli. He scores goals. He’s great in the air, a physical presence. He’s a sort of throwback.
“He’ll always run down the centre. He’s not interested in coming deep. He’ll go down the gut of teams. He just wants to get in the box and he dominates. He wants that contact with defenders.
“I actually respect the fact that he’s not gone to Saudi Arabia, because I think he could’ve done. But I think he knows that he can still play at the highest level.
“And ultimately I think what makes a lot of these players is their character, that bit of maverick about them.
“So I think an Arsenal or a CHELSEA should be looking at him. Arsenal in particular, who’ve got goalscoring problems.”

Osimhen is a goal-scorer that is a fact, but against Tottenham he missed chances that he should not have and although he will add goals, it seems like he will need alot of chances to put those chances away.
For the right price he will be a good signing for clubs.
CHELSEA IN WIRTZ CONTACT

It is no secret that Chelsea, have been one of the biggest spenders in the transfer windows over the last few seasons, and it is also no secret that Enzo Maresca wants to add a bit more quality to the side in the next few windows.
And that has led to reports that CHELSEA will once again delve into that transfer kitty in the January window and try to add a few new players, with Wirtz a man that the club now want after another impressive season for Bayer Leverkusen this time around
The 21-year-old forward is one of the rising stars of European football and reports that the Blues hold a ‘strong interest’ in the Germany international. It is said that Wirtz is on the club’s ‘radar’.
The Leverkusen midfielder had a stellar season in the club’s unbeaten domestic campaign, scoring 18 goals and registering 20 assists on the way to the Bundesliga and German Cup trophies.
it is believed that a few of £127 million would be enough to convince the Germans to part ways wit their talented midfielder

Wirtz is the next big thing in German football, the lad is being chased by all the games biggest clubs and will have his choice to choose from when he officially decides to leave Leverkusen.
Paying over £100 million for the lad seems like alot of money, but we have seen Chelsea do that for players that are not even close to the quality of Wirtz, so we can see this transfer ahppening.
But as we said, Wirtz will have his choice and we dont think that CHELSEA are high up on his destinations.
