Discussing the latest on Chelsea’s search for a new striker, Phillips said: “One key area is striker, and SPTC Sources have heard this week that Chelsea are ‘still there’ for Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
“The player has always been keen to join Chelsea regardless of Champions League football, and he is still keen now. The deal was worked on hard last summer, and the belief from our insiders is that his wage demands would not be as astronomical as the media are portraying.
“Chelsea can easily go back into the deal and our sources believe that it wouldn’t even be that difficult to come to an agreement.”
