Chelsea in a "war" to sign 25-year-old PSG target by June 30
John Obi-Mikel believes Victor Osimhen could be a future Chelsea player. The Blues are eyeing the striker, with Osimhen, the man who led Napoli to the Serie A title last season and is garnering attention from top European clubs.
Osimhen, with just two years left on his contract (Transfermarkt), has yet to show any signs of extension. Should he decide to depart Napoli, Chelsea is likely to make a move, driven by their persistent interest in the striker.
However, Napoli will likely demand a significant transfer fee, presenting a potential obstacle. Chelsea’s recent goal drought may force them to break the bank once again for a proven striker.
The Blues have struggled to find a reliable striker over the past year, leaving them impotent in front of the goal. Osimhen seems to be the answer, possessing the necessary attributes to address Chelsea’s goal-scoring woes.
Now, Obi-Mikel has encouraged Osimhen to join Chelsea if he decides to leave Napoli. Speaking on the Obi One Podcast, (h/t Football. London) he said:
“I hope he comes to Chelsea. From the noises that I hear, he is a big United [fan], I think probably. I hope he comes to Chelsea.”
Many Chelsea supporters dream of seeing Victor Osimhen don the Blues’ jersey next summer. At 24, he’ll be in his prime, and his adaptable style suits various leagues. With the right support, Osimhen can lead the striker line effectively and thrive at Chelsea.
While Manchester United may seem tempting for Osimhen, they recently acquired Rasmus Hojlund, who is thriving there. Given Osimhen’s childhood idol, Didier Drogba, he can aim to replicate Drogba’s career at Chelsea, making it a logical choice for his future.
