Chelsea have reportedly made a £16 million offer for Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike. They are reportedly hoping to wrap up a deal quickly for the Fenerbahce hit man. Reports have it that Jose Mourinho is a big fan of the Nigerian forward, and decided to make a bid for him, having watched him this week in the World Cup. Emenike helped Nigeria reach the knockout stages of the World Cup, which they managed despite losing 3-2 to Argentina on Wednesday. The Nigerian has had a good season for Fenerbahce, managing 12 goals and nine assists for them. He only moved to Fenerbahce last summer from Spartak Moscow for £10 million, but the Turkish club are happy to make a quick profit from him. Emenike has previously stated that he is desperate to join a Premier League club in the future, which suggests there would be very few barriers to a switch if a transfer fee can be agreed. He said: “I have always dreamed of playing in England. “If I get the opportunity to play in England – I wouldn’t turn it down.” Chelsea look set to overhaul their striking choices this summer, with Diego Costa set to join and the likes of Romelu Lukaku possible departures.
