Former West Ham United and Southampton defender Jose Fonte has expressed disappointment over Chelsea’s failure to secure Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who was often linked with a move to Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window.

Chelsea had shown interest in Osimhen since last summer, but the club failed to bring him in. Instead, Osimhen joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli, a move that Fonte believes Chelsea will regret.

Fonte, who has played against Osimhen, praised the striker’s abilities, likening him to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba. “Chelsea are crying out for a striker like Victor Osimhen,” Fonte said in an interview with BoyleSports. “He has the potential to be another Drogba for them. He’s a winner with pace, power, and great technical quality.”

Reflecting on Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray, Fonte was critical of Premier League clubs’ failure to sign him.

“When I saw Osimhen go to Galatasaray, I thought it was foolish that no Premier League club had signed him. He’s aggressive, fast, clever, and powerful, and once he’s in the Premier League, he’ll be a nightmare for defenders.”

Fonte also recalled playing against Osimhen in the Champions League, joking that Osimhen might have taken it easy on him, but still described the experience as a “nightmare.”

Barcelona’s teenage football sensation Lamine Yamal has shared his love for Afrobeats, and fans are loving it.

In a recent chat with TTV, the young star opened up about his music taste, saying he enjoys African sounds. When asked to name his favorite Afrobeats artists, he didn’t hesitate—Burna Boy and Rema top his playlist. “I listen to a lot of Afro music,” Yamal said casually during the interview.

His answer took many by surprise, especially since he’s been seen vibing with Nigerian artist Skales. The connection makes sense though—Skales’ 2015 banger Shake Body went viral again thanks to Yamal’s dance moves, sparking fresh attention online.

Former Chelsea star Florent Malouda believes Victor Osimhen would be a fantastic addition to the club as they look to strengthen their attack ahead of next season. With Nicolas Jackson struggling to impress consistently, Chelsea are reportedly targeting a new frontman—and Osimhen is high on their list.

Although a move for the Nigerian striker nearly happened last season, wage demands stalled the deal. Still, Malouda hopes the transfer can finally go through this time. “The connection between Osimhen and Chelsea is strong,” Malouda told Racing Tipster. “We’ve had top African players at the club in the past, and I believe Osimhen can lead the next wave.”

He added that Osimhen wouldn’t just be good for the team but could also push Jackson to improve his game. “We need a striker who can score 20 or more goals a season, and Osimhen is that kind of player,” Malouda said. “He’d be a great signing and a major boost for Maresca’s side.”

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has praised Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo for their impact in the club’s 4-1 win over Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League semi-final second leg at Old Trafford. Mount scored twice, while Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund added one each to seal the dominant win and send United into the final.

Amorim, speaking after the match, expressed his joy at seeing Mount and Mainoo come off the bench to help turn the game around. “I’m really happy for Mason,” Amorim said. “And I liked what I saw from Kobbie too. Sometimes you come off the bench and completely change the game.” He went on to highlight Mount’s work ethic and versatility.

“When you have someone like Mason who trains hard, eats right, takes his recovery seriously—you just want to support him,” he said. “He’s ideal for that role. He can control the midfield and also run like a winger.” Up next, Manchester United will meet Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final later this month.
