Chelsea legend, Craig Burley has asked the club to sign Super Eagles of Nigeria striker, Victor Osimhen to partner Christopher Nkunku in Blues’ attack.
He believes that Napoli’s Osimhen and RB Leipzig’s Nkunku will cause a lot of scare on Premier League defences.
The 25-year-old Nkunku is reportedly on his way to west London next summer and is only awaiting official confirmation from the club.
Chelsea still want to strengthen their forward line by targeting Napoli centre-forward Osimhen.
90min reported last month that Osimhen was top of Graham Potter’s wish list for the No.9 position.
Burley told ESPN he loves the idea of an Osimhen-Nkunku strike partnership at Stamford Bridge next season.
“I think him (Nkunku) and Osimhen would scare the living daylights out of people… can you imagine,” Burley said.
“I don’t know if he would leave Napoli, but you’re not getting him until the summer at the earliest.”
