Former Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, has provided an update on Victor Osimhen's potential transfer to Chelsea, stating that the Nigerian striker likes the club and could join soon, according to Daily Post.
Mikel Obi, who played for Chelsea from 2006 to 2017, revealed that he and Didier Drogba are trying to convince Osimhen to make the move to Stamford Bridge. The 25-year-old Osimhen has been linked with a transfer to Chelsea, with a potential deal involving Romelu Lukaku moving to Napoli.
"We want somebody who can finish, score goals, the tap-ins. Someone like Erling Haaland. That's something Victor Osimhen will bring to Chelsea," Mikel Obi said. "I hope that Chelsea fans will finally see him come to the club. I'll make sure I send him those text messages and calls, making sure Chelsea is his top priority!"
Mikel Obi's comments suggest that Osimhen is keen on joining Chelsea, and the club is working hard to secure his signature. The Nigerian striker has a €130m release clause in his contract with Napoli, and it's likely that he will leave Italy this summer.
Drogba, a Chelsea legend, is also involved in the efforts to convince Osimhen to join the club, sharing his own experiences and the significance of the club. Mikel Obi believes that Osimhen's goal-scoring ability and physical presence would make him a great fit for Chelsea.
While there is no official confirmation from Chelsea or Napoli, Mikel Obi's update suggests that Osimhen's transfer to Chelsea is a possibility. Chelsea fans will be eagerly waiting to see if the Nigerian striker will join their club soon.
