Chelsea are reportedly monitoring the performances of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen ahead of a potential approach.
The Blues bolstered their attack this summer with Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, but they are eyeing more signings.
Another young striker is a priority for the hierarchy and Gazzetta dello Sport claim that the club's scouts are keeping track of Osimhen.
The Nigerian star has bagged 32 goals and 10 assists from 70 outings for Napoli. He has impressed with his aerial ability and finishing.
The 23-year-old has been touted to move to the Premier League for the past few years, but Napoli are unlikely to let him go for cheap anytime soon.
The Serie A outfit currently value him in the region of €100 million and may not settle for anything less to sanction his potential sale.
Chelsea may have to wait until the end of the campaign before making an approach. Napoli are unlikely to entertain mid-season bids.
Meanwhile, there are claims that the arrival of a young striker could pave the way for Aubameyang's move to PSG next summer.
