Chelsea can easily complete the deal to sign a world class striker this summer, and the player also wants to play for Chelsea.
The news comes off the back of Chelsea getting an essential three points on Saturday afternoon by beating Everton 1-0 at home after a fantastic first half goal from striker Nicolas Jackson ending his 2025 goal draught.
It was far from an easy game for Chelsea though, and goalkeeper Robert Sanchez became the unlikely hero and was actually the reason that they could see the win out and collect all three points, making some big second half saves to deny certain goals.
Another one of Chelsea’s best players on the pitch was defender Trevoh Chalobah and really, he was a strong candidate for man of the match too. Enzo Maresca defended Chelsea’s decision to let him go on loan in the summer after then recalling him in the winter.
The Blues will be busy in the upcoming summer transfer window as well, with a new striker at the top of the list of priorities for the club at the end of the season.

Chelsea were trying to sign Napoli striker Victor Osimhen last summer but it fell apart at the final hurdle.
But according to former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel, The Blues can easily complete the deal to sign him this summer, and he wants to join the club.
As cited on X, Mikel said:
“He wants to play for Chelsea. I know where we stopped in terms of the contract, I know where we are. It’s an easy fix, because we’ve done all the hard work last summer.”
