Chelsea legends Didier Drogba and John Obi Mikel are reportedly pushing 25-year-old Napoli attacker Victor Osimhen to join the West London club this summer.
According to a report by Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, Victor Osimhen is the subject of interest from Chelsea. The Blues are keen on signing the Napoli attacker before the summer transfer window shuts down. Meanwhile, the West London club’s legends Didier Drogba and John Obi Mikel are driving the 25-year-old attacker to move to Stamford Bridge.
John Obi Mikel has also been vocal about his desire to see his compatriot in a Chelsea shirt. The former Chelsea midfielder said, “I hope that Chelsea fans finally see him at our club, I would like him to understand how Chelsea must become his absolute priority. It would be fantastic if he came to play here.”
The Victor Osimhen story
Victor Osimhen has been one of the best strikers in the world in the last few years. The Nigerian international was a highly-rated attacker before moving to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium nearly four years ago. Since then, he has come leaps and bounds to become a pivotal figure for the Partenopei.
The 25-year-old has turned out nearly 150 times thus far for Napoli while amassing 76 goals and 18 assists. Osimhen was instrumental in the Partenopei returning to the summit of Italian football by winning the Serie A title in the 2022/23 season. However, the player wants to embark on a new adventure in the summer transfer window. The situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of Chelsea.
London calling
Chelsea’s interest in Victor Osimhen is understandable. The Blues have already signed one striker in the summer transfer window, with Marc Guiu arriving from Barcelona. However, they are not done yet and want to add an experienced centre-forward to the first-team squad. Osimhen has thus emerged as a viable target for Chelsea.
The Premier League heavyweights have recently intensified their efforts to secure Victor Osimhen’s services in the summer transfer window. The latest update has revealed that Chelsea legends Didier Drogba and John Obi Mikel have urged the 25-year-old attacker to join the West London club.
Osimhen idolises Drogba, whose words might influence him. So, it will be interesting to see if Drogba and Obi Mikel’s pleas turn Osimhen’s head and take the Nigerian striker to Stamford Bridge before the summer transfer window shuts down.
