Osimhen's agent, Roberto Calenda, debunked the rumours that the reigning CAF Player of the Year would not leave Napoli on loan.
Meanwhile, Chelsea has already signed several players, including Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Omari Kellyman.
But Gallas wonders why the Blues are yet to move for Osimhen, especially because of his goal-scoring attitude. The former Arsenal star said via Yop l.Frii:
"Like Didier Drogba, Victor Osimhen can take Chelsea to the next level. Looking at what he has done with Napoli, leading them to the title, he could do that with Chelsea.
"Chelsea need a striker, and I don’t know what they are waiting for.”
The London club are already exploring the possibility of signing Wolves winger Pedro Neto as the transfer deadline approaches.
Gallas expressed concern that Chelsea might miss out on Osimhen, especially as the club is close to securing Atletico Madrid forward Samu Omorodion.
Romano provides Osimhen update
Briefly News earlier reported that Fabrizio Romano provided an update on the potential swap deal and what is holding it back from the Napoli striker’s side after Chelsea agreed a deal for Samu Omorodion.
He disclosed that the former Lille striker is unwilling to reduce his salary to join the Premier League outfit. He will also not accept a loan move with an option to buy. The Blues closed a deal for Omorodion from Atletico Madrid, which many believe will spell the end for their chase of the former U17 World Cup winner, but the deal is still possible.
