In a simulated 2025/26 season, Chelsea’s potential signing of Victor Osimhen from Napoli saw the Nigerian striker deliver an impactful yet inconsistent performance. Osimhen started strong, becoming the club’s top scorer with 14 goals in 35 appearances across all competitions. Despite a dip in form later in the season, where he failed to score in his final 12 games, he still played a key role in the team’s success.

Chelsea finished 4th in the Premier League, securing Champions League football for the next season, but their major success came in the domestic cup competitions. Chelsea won both the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, beating Newcastle and Tottenham respectively.

Notably, Osimhen’s average rating (6.97) was the lowest among Chelsea’s top six scorers, yet he was still included in the team’s best XI, alongside players like Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández, and Raheem Palmer. His performance also helped Chelsea finish 13 points ahead of fifth-place Newcastle, though they were 13 points behind league winners Manchester City.
