World class £87 Million star ‘Loves Chelsea’ and is keen to complete move!
John Obi Mikel has revealed that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen loved Chelsea and would be very interested in a move to Stamford Bridge by the end of the transfer window.
CHELSEA have struggled since the Todd Boehly takeover and have embarked on another huge spending spree under new manager Enzo Maresca, with nine new signings so far at a cost of over £161m.
However – there is alot more transfer talk in the media that Chelsea still wants to add a new striker to the side that has the ability to score goals on a weekly basis, and Osimhen is a plan that the Blues would love to add to the squad.
He has already put in a transfer request in order to force a move out of the club, and according to Obi Mikel, Osimhen ‘loves’ Chelsea and would be keen on the move, with the Blues legend claiming he has been doing their bit to convince the Nigerian to join Enzo Maresca’s side.
‘We don’t really need somebody who’s going to come in and be feeding and creating chances. We want somebody who can finish, score goals, the tap-ins,’ Obi Mikel said.
‘Someone like Erling Haaland. That’s something Victor Osimhen will bring to Chelsea.
‘I hope that Chelsea fans will finally see him come to the club. I’ll make sure I send him those texts messages and calls, making sure Chelsea is his top priority!
‘But it seems like he loves the club and wants to come to Chelsea. I’m sure he has all the big clubs wanting to sign him. I think if we can secure his signature it would be fantastic for the club.”
