Chelsea's Osimhen boost

Chelsea have received good news in their pursuit of Victor Osimhen as Napoli already have their replacement lined up.

But do they even need Osimhen when they already have Cole Palmer? The attacking midfielder put on a historic showing against Everton on Monday.

Man Utd's striker options?

Man Utd look to be closing in on Ivan Toney, but a deal only makes sense on one condition.

Similarly, they have been linked with Viktor Gyokeres, but this would be a terrible move for Rasmus Hojlund's development.

A third option could be Benjamin Sesko. The Leipzig youngster is expected to leave the Bundesliga this summer.

Man Utd are also set to lose at least one forward in the next transfer window and Fabrizio Romano has already confirmed his departure.

He is one of several players to depart Old Trafford this summer.

Man Utd are still keen on record-breaking striker Serhou Guirassy.

Chelsea are lining up a move for Teun Koopmeiners after his stunning performance against Liverpool in the Europa League.

Liverpool flop Naby Keita might very well be the worst signing of the season and he didn't even cost Werder Bremen a penny in transfer fees.

Mauricio Pochettino has demanded a change in transfer policy from the Chelsea hierarchy.

Here are two players the Blues must sign to grant Poch his wish.

Arsenal are preparing a mega-money offer for a player likened to Ronaldinho by his coach.

Chelsea have made an absolutely mind-boggling decision on the futures of Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk.
