Mikel Obi Says Chelsea Should Sign Osimhen Now or They Will Regret It Later
Former Chelsea star John Mikel Obi believes the club must not miss the chance to sign Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
Chelsea had tried to land Osimhen last summer, but the deal fell through due to his high wage demands.
The Super Eagles forward, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been in red-hot form this season, scoring 27 goals and providing 5 assists in 32 matches across all competitions.
Despite their ongoing search for a strong partner to support Nicolas Jackson up front, Chelsea reportedly aren’t targeting Osimhen this summer.
Speaking on the Obione podcast, Mikel expressed his disappointment at the club’s hesitation.
“It would be a big shame if we pass on someone who’s always wanted to wear the Chelsea shirt,” Mikel said.
“He grew up watching Drogba, idolising him. He’d want to chase his records, win titles, and take us back to the top. That’s his dream.”
Mikel added that the opportunity to sign Osimhen is still open. “We already have a connection. If the club decides to go back in, it’s just a phone call away. Get him in!” he said.
Manchester United have released a list of players who are expected to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
A statement from the club listed the players as Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Sonny Aljofree, James Bailey, and Malachi Sharpe.
It was noted that Casemiro enjoyed a strong season at the club and built an excellent reputation during his time with the team.
Meanwhile, Tyrell Malacia made 50 first-team appearances for Manchester United during his spell at the club.
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.
The list includes star players Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konaté. While some players are leaving, others have been offered new contracts.
The players who have been offered fresh terms include Kyle Kelly, Afolami Onanuga, Oliver O’Connor, Lucas Pitt, Ben Trueman, Matthew Wright, Prince Cisse, and Keyrol Figueroa.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
