Victor Osimhen to Chelsea: Galatasaray striker linked with Premier League move

Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen is being linked with a move from Galatasaray to Chelsea, with the potential transfer placing the 27-year-old centre-forward on the Premier League club’s radar.

Osimhen currently plays for Galatasaray in Turkey’s Super Lig and has a contract with the club until 30 June 2029. The reported possibility of a move comes as Chelsea are linked with a player whose current market value is €75m.

The rumour is assessed at 49%, indicating that the proposed switch remains uncertain rather than close to completion. No transfer has been confirmed, and Osimhen remains a Galatasaray player.

Osimhen’s position is centre-forward, while Chelsea are the club named as his potential destination in the Premier League. The reported move would therefore see the Nigeria international leave Turkey for England, although the available details do not indicate whether negotiations have taken place or whether an offer has been made.

The latest update is dated 1 August 2026. Osimhen’s existing Galatasaray contract means the club are not facing an imminent expiry deadline, with three years remaining on the agreement at the time of the reported interest. He remains under contract at Galatasaray as the rumour develops.
