Hi Ed's are we interested in the striker Gimenez.

{Ed002's Note - Santiago Gimenez (S) Having another good season at Feyenoord and attracting interest of Chelsea, Lille, Leicester, Spurs, Real Madrid, Crystal Palace and Eintracht Frankfurt. He has become the first choice Harry Kane replacement for Spurs after they lost out on their preferred option in the summer but not first choice for Chelsea or Real madrid. Others can be discounted. Cost could be pretty extreme ending interest of all of these clubs.}

Good evening Ed002; please is Chelsea also interested in Victor Osimhen? Please throw a bit of light on Osimhen.

{Ed002's Note - Victor Osimhen (S) Napoli made it clear to Chelsea who enquired in 2021 that even €100M would not buy the player - but they do maintain an interest and he has been first choice and expect an offer to be made. Al Hilal may well offer Napoli the €200M they will look for, but that may not suit the player just yet. PSG and Real Madrid could look to him as an option but Madrid would want to offer players in exchange. There is a suggestion that Liverpool have negotiated directly with the player and his agent and not spoken to Napoli. Given Napoli registered a complaint against Liverpool over another player last year, it would seem unlikely, or particularly stupid. Napoli will seek a new contract in the first instance.}

Ed002 what about ivan toney? Rumors that we will bid for him in January? Are we interested? Thanks alot.

{Ed002's Note - Ivan Toney (S) Brentford do not want to sell but are aware Toney may look to move up a step. Newcastle - if they can sell their project to him given - offer the chance of a return to the club who previously could find no use for him in the three years he was there. Arsenal, Leeds, Manchester United, Spurs, Chelsea and West Ham have all sent scouts on more than one occasion to watch him prior to his ban. Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea may well start talks ahead of January, but Spurs and Chelsea have preferred options.}

Ed002 thanks so much for the info, do you see us making an offer for Osimehen in January? And is there any realistic chance of Napoli selling him in January? Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - I cannot realistically answer questions about timing. January is a tough time to buy players and Napoli are not looking to agree an early exit.}

ed002 remember you said he wouldn't want to join a club not in the champions league, is that still the case? Would he join us without it and could they take broja in a deal as they like him?

{Ed002's Note - It would be far more difficult.}
