Osimhen transfer pledge as banished Aubameyang spotted at 5-a-side
It's a difficult time for Chelsea and their under pressure manager, Graham Potter.
The Blues are 10th in the Premier League table, 11 points behind Tottenham in fourth with a game in hand. That fact becomes more damning when you consider they are just 11 points ahead of West Ham in 18th. Potter's side need to start winning before it is too late.
Chelsea have been the biggest spenders in Europe since Todd Boehly completed a takeover last summer, but their results would suggest otherwise. Here are the biggest headlines from Stamford Bridge ahead of Sunday's league game against Tottenham.
Osimhen dismisses transfer talk
Victor Osimhen insists it is up to Napoli to decide his future amid interest from Chelsea, Manchester United and several other clubs.
The Napoli striker has scored 18 goals in 19 Serie A appearances this season to leave his club on the brink of a first league title since May 1990. Luciano Spalletti's side are 15 points clear at the top of the table, with only 15 Serie A fixtures remaining.

Chelsea have scored just six Premier League goals since the World Cup and their fans would love to sign a striker of Osimhen's pedigree in the summer. Yet the Nigeria international is purely focused on winning silverware with Napoli at this moment in time.

Osimhen discussed his future during a recent interview with ESPN. He said: "When you are doing so well, top clubs around the world are watching, mostly in the top five leagues. And to be able to attract interest from these top clubs shows that I am doing great and it gives me the motivation to do even more for myself and my team.
"But I am focused on Napoli right now and they have the final say. I just want to help my team to win matches and win trophies. At the end of the season, we will see what is going to happen, but that is not up to me. It is for the club to decide."

Aubameyang was granted permission to travel to Milan, where he appears to be maintaining his match fitness. Potter has assured the striker his situation at Stamford Bridge is not "terminal" - but many critics are expecting him to leave Chelsea in the summer.
