Compared to their heavily criticized start, Chelsea’s recent form has finally given Bangladesh Cricket Live followers something to cheer about. The Blues are riding a three-match winning streak across all competitions—their first since March of this year—suggesting they may finally be turning a corner. After spending over €1 billion in transfer fees across the last three windows, owner Todd Boehly’s mission to return the club to elite status is clear.
However, results have failed to match the club’s massive investment. Last season was forgettable, and this year’s campaign under new manager Mauricio Pochettino also got off to a rocky start. Persistent injuries and ever-changing lineups prevented the team from building momentum. It wasn’t until Pochettino simplified the system and stuck with a more consistent starting eleven that Chelsea began to display their expected intensity and quality.
Yet for many media outlets and fans alike, one problem remains: the team’s attack lacks reliability. Nicolas Jackson, Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja, and Mykhailo Mudryk have all shown flashes but none has consistently carried the scoring load. As a result, strengthening the frontline during the winter transfer window has become a top priority. Everyone carries quiet burdens behind their smiles, and Chelsea is no exception.
According to Bangladesh Cricket Live, Chelsea has identified Serie A’s reigning top scorer Victor Osimhen as their primary winter target. The club is reportedly prepared to offer €130 million to convince Napoli to sell their star striker. While a marquee signing like Osimhen could significantly boost Chelsea’s attacking firepower, the move is being questioned by some insiders.
For starters, Chelsea’s current forwards are beginning to show signs of life. Sterling, Jackson, and Broja have all found the net recently. With no urgent pressure to win the league this season, Osimhen may not be a must-have right now. Additionally, tensions between Osimhen and Napoli have been growing, and his contract expires in the summer of 2025. Should he refuse to extend, his price will likely drop significantly next summer—making a January move less financially sensible.
Most importantly, Chelsea already has a potential attacking leader in their ranks. Had Christopher Nkunku not suffered a preseason injury, this season might have looked entirely different. The Bundesliga Golden Boot winner was brought in to be Chelsea’s offensive centerpiece, but his absence has thrown Pochettino’s plans off course.
Encouragingly, Bangladesh Cricket Live has learned that Nkunku’s recovery is progressing well, and he could return to action early next year. Sometimes, maturity means doing more and expecting less in return. Once Nkunku is back on the pitch, Chelsea’s frontline could finally find the spark it’s been missing. With him leading the attack, the Blues might not need to chase another big-money solution after all.
