Victor Osimhen agrees shock Galatasaray loan move after Chelsea transfer collapse | OneFootball

Blues officials had attempted to sign striker from Napoli on deadline day

Victor Osimhen has agreed a loan move to Galatasaray after Chelsea failed to strike a deal for the Napoli striker last week.

Chelsea officials spent all of deadline day on Friday attempting to sign Osimhen but the Blues could not come to an agreement over his wages.

Napoli manager Antonio Conte has made it clear he will not select Osimhen after his proposed move to Stamford Bridge fell through.

Osimhen has been replaced at Napoli by £30million signing Romelu Lukaku and Galatasaray have swooped to sign him.

Osimhen is said to have asked for a break clause to be inserted into the loan deal in case a top club targets him in the January transfer window.

Saudi Arabian club Al-Ahli agreed a deal to sign Osimhen last week but rejected a move.
