Here are all the details about Victor Osimhen's reported decision to join Chelsea in the summer
A Promising Start at Stamford Bridge
Chelsea secured Ugochukwu's services from Rennes in the summer of 2023 for a notable fee of €27 million. The young Frenchman has already made a significant impact in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad, surpassing expectations with 13 appearances so far this season.
His presence in the midfield has been a blend of youthful energy and tactical maturity, contributing substantially to Chelsea's game dynamic, but he is now set for a spell on the sidelines due to injury, according to L’Equipe.

Speculations on Future Moves
The move to Chelsea was initially accompanied by rumors of a potential loan to Strasbourg, Chelsea's sister club. Ugochukwu, however, dismissed these speculations in a post-transfer window interview.
Despite this, his limited playing time has raised concerns for Thierry Henry, the manager of France's U21 team. Given these circumstances, a loan move back to Ligue 1 could be a strategic option for Ugochukwu to gain more match experience and continue his development.
