Chelsea pursue Aston Villa hero among four forwards as Blues man’s sparkling form dismissed

Chelsea are reportedly still closely monitoring Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins as well as three other star strikers, as the sparkling form of Nicolas Jackson has not been enough to change the Blues’ minds about a new forward.

Jackson has started the season in some of the best form of any of the league’s forwards. So far, only Erling Haaland and Luis Diaz have scored more goals than the Blues star.

But according to Caught Offside, that has not been enough to change his club’s mind about courting a new striker.

The report states that talks with the agent of Victor Osimhen are continuing.

What’s more, there are three other strikers on Chelsea’s shortlist.

The report states that Watkins, Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres are all on the list and being ‘monitored closely’.

Links between Watkins and Chelsea began after the Euros, when his link-up with Cole Palmer saw England through to the final.

Manchester United have also previously been linked with him, while Arsenal were told to go after him of late.

It has frequently been suggested that Osimhen is the Blues’ priority for the January window after they missed out on him in the summer.
