Chelsea are 'OUT of £111m race to sign Victor Osimhen' amid bold bid for Atletico Madrid star - with shock Premier League rival 'now in the hunt for Napoli ace'

Napoli star Victor Osimhen could still find himself in the Premier League despite Chelsea effectively ending their pursuit of the Nigerian as they press on with a move for Samu Omorodion.

Mail Sport revealed talks between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are advancing over Omorodion, who is set to cost the Blues a cool £30million despite scoring just nine goals from 35 LaLiga appearances in a loan stint with Alaves.

The deal for Omorodion would be separate to Conor Gallagher's move the other way, with the midfielder jetting into the Spanish capital to undergo a medical with Atletico Madrid ahead of a £33.
