Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are both eyeing Napoli striker Victor Osimhen this summer, with the player reportedly expressing a strong desire to join the Premier League club. According to former Chelsea player John Obi Mikel, Osimhen ‘loves’ Chelsea and is keen on making a move to Stamford Bridge. With a release clause between €120 million and €130 million in his contract, the Nigerian striker is set to leave Napoli at the end of the season.
Mikel, who shares a close relationship with Osimhen, is hopeful that the deal will go through, as he stands to benefit from the transfer. The 25-year-old striker has attracted interest from other top clubs like Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, but Mikel is pushing for Osimhen to focus on joining Chelsea.
The former Chelsea midfielder believes that Osimhen’s goal-scoring abilities could greatly benefit the team, especially after their recent struggles in finding the back of the net. Mikel is confident that Osimhen can provide the much-needed goals for Chelsea and potentially become a legend at the club.
With London being a preferred destination for Osimhen, Chelsea seems like the ideal choice for the talented striker. Mikel is determined to see the deal through and hopes that Osimhen will follow in his footsteps as a Nigerian player who has represented Chelsea in the past.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Victor Osimhen and his potential move to Chelsea. Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on this exciting transfer saga, hoping to see the prolific striker donning the blue jersey at Stamford Bridge.
