Transfer News: Pochettino names Osimhen as top transfer target

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen continues to dominate transfer talks.

With the transfer window officially opened, it is business as usual for clubs who want to bolster their squad for the second half of the season.

In the latest transfer rumours, Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has named Napoli Starman Victor Osimhen as his top transfer target this January.

The former PSG and Spurs boss wants enough firepower upfront, something Nicholas Jackson has failed to provide for the Blues since the season began.

Other reports have linked the African Player of The Year with a move to Arsenal.

According to the Independent, Mikel Arteta has identified the 25-year-old as the solution to the Gunners attacking issues.

However, a release clause worth a huge £120m makes a January move almost impossible as Arsenal seek to comply with FFP rules, as per The Standard.
