After Chelsea’s frustrating FA Cup defeat to Manchester City, fans took to social media to urge the club’s board to complete a summer transfer for a top striker, with Napoli’s Victor Osimhen a prime target. Bernardo Silva’s late goal secured City’s victory, but Chelsea supporters felt the scoreline could have been different if striker Nicolas Jackson had been more clinical.

Jackson, 22, missed several key chances during the match. This led to calls from fans for Chelsea to sign Osimhen, who is set to leave Napoli at the end of the season. The Nigerian striker is coveted by several clubs, including Manchester United and Arsenal. Chelsea fans expressed their desire for a new striker, with one fan stating, “We need to get Osimhen this summer no excuses.”

Another fan emphasized, “Imagine Osimhen as your main striker in that match.”The sentiment among fans was clear: Chelsea must bolster their attacking options, and Osimhen is seen as the ideal candidate to lead the line for the club.
